Jamie Dimon gets a $3 million raise
By Chris Isidore, CNN Business
Jamie Dimon got a $3 million raise in 2021, JPMorgan Chase disclosed in a filing late Thursday.
The raise boosts the pay for the CEO of the nation’s largest bank by 9.5%, to $34.5 million. The pay package includes a base salary of $1.5 million and a $5 million cash bonus — both unchanged from 2020 — while the remaining $28 million came in stock.
Last week, JPMorgan reported record annual revenue of $125.3 billion and net income of $48.3 billion. The bank also increased its quarterly dividend from 90 cents to $1 per share and continued to strengthen its balance sheet.
JPMorgan shares were up 25% in 2021, but they’re down 7% so far this year because of concerns that high inflation will lead the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates.
The median annual compensation of a JPMorgan employee was $80,102 as of December 31, 2020, according to an earlier filing. The company has yet to disclose its most recent compensation for a typical employee, but Dimon’s 2020 compensation represented 395 times the average JPMorgan worker’s pay package.
