Highest-paid female CEO used to be a man

Highest-paid female CEO used to be a man - Yahoo Finance:
"Martine Rothblatt, a 59 year old entrepreneur and space lawyer, is the highest paid female executive in America. 
She made $38 million last year as the CEO of United Therapeutics (UTHR); a $6 billion biotech firm she founded to find a treatment for pulmonary hypertension after her daughter was diagnosed with the disease.
...Before United Therapeutics, Martine helped found both GeoStar, a satellite based navigation system and Sirius Radio (SIRI), a satellite radio service.
Martine Rothblatt was also a man until 1994 when she underwent sex reassignment surgery at the age of 40, so she has a unique perspective on gender in the workplace.
....Rothblatt brings this perspective to the gender pay gap."
