New to the compensation list, and relatively new to the job, is Keith Belknap, EVP and GC at Atlanta-based Beazer Homes. The first GC on the list not to crack the $1 million mark last year, Belknap’s total cash compensation was $972,151. His base salary of $320,192 got even sweeter with an added $651,959 in nonequity incentives. He also received about $608,000 more in stock awards.

Belknap, who joined the Atlanta-based homebuilder in January 2018, had most recently served as the top lawyer at Mueller Water Products Inc. for more than five years. Prior to that, he was as GC at PriMedia Inc., a digital media and real estate advertising company. He also has held senior in-house positions at PPG Industries Inc. and Georgia-Pacific.
