According to our data, Citigroup Inc. has a market capitalization of US$146b, and pays its CEO total annual compensation worth US$24m. (This number is for the twelve months until December 2018). That's a notable increase of 36% on last year. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth noting the salary is lower, valued at US$1.5m. We looked at a group of companies with market capitalizations over US$8.0b and the median CEO compensation was US$11m. Once you start looking at very large companies, you need to take a broader range, because there simply aren't that many of them.
