Two years ago, posted I, the undersigned, a review article about what the top in the automotive world to salary and bonuses, raked together. How to hang the flag now?
Let the facts once dry put:
- Alan Mulally (Ford): 16.1 million euro (21 million USD)
- Martin Winterkorn (VW): 14 million euro (-20%)
- Dieter Zetsche (Daimler/Mercedes): 8.15 million euro (-5,8%)
- Dan Akerson (GM): 6.9 million euro (9 million USD)
- Norbert Reithofer (BMW): 6.1 million
- Carlos Ghosn (Renault-Nissan): not yet known (2011: 2.8 mln euros to Renault + 7,9 mln euro (987 million USD) at Nissan).
- Sergio Marchionne (Fiat-Chrysler): not yet known (2011: 16,9 mln euro)
- Akio Toyoda (Toyota): not yet known (2011: 1.1 million euros)
As you can see from some of the CEO’s salary are not yet known. That can have two reasons: 1) slow accountants (Marchionne) or 2) for a fiscal year that does not run parallel with the calendar year (almost all Japanese manufacturers), but the gist is clear: the amounts earned are not always in proportion to the number of cars that are sold.
What is remarkable is that the salary of a large number of CEO’s is reduced, in a year in which most manufacturers better results than the year before.
In the case of employees, there is equally lopsided, as we take a look at the paid bonuses. When BMW gets a factory worker 7.630 euros bonus, VW 7.200 euros, and at Opel, they must make do with a freeze of their wages for the next three years. But, they do have the assurance of a job for back.
UPDATE 02-05: The salary of Carlos Ghosn: 11.2 million euro, of which a small 9 million from Nissan, the rest with Renault.
