Answer first
General Merchandise Stores leads median ratio at 767:1; Amusement & Recreation leads median CEO pay at $16.9M.
According to latest-year-per-SIC DEF 14A medians (63 industries), ratio rank is not dollar rank. The percentile tool still ranks a single reported ratio against the unbiased company pool - it does not treat a high multiple as a large CEO package.
