Australia’s top earning CEO rakes in more than $18 million every single year – the equivalent of over $346,000 a week.
That’s according to The Australian Financial Review’s annual CEO pay survey, which is prepared by data company OpenDirector taking total pay publicly listed in annual reports.
Macquarie Group boss Shemara Wikramanayake topped the coveted list for 2019 – becoming the first woman in history to do so.
Her salary eclipses that of second placer Gregory Goodman, the founder of property group Goodman, who took home a relatively paltry $12.8 million.
Paul Perreault from CSL was third with $11.71 million, followed by Treasury Wine Estate’s Michael Clarke on $11.38 million and WorleyParsons’ Andrew Wood on $10.54 million.
