Jane Fraser, CEO of Citigroup (C), received $13.3M in total reported compensation. The package mix typical at this scale: a small base salary, a larger stock-award component, and performance-tied incentives that vest over multiple years based on relative TSR or earnings benchmarks.
The CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio is 205x, meaning Jane Fraser's $13.3M total comp is roughly that many times the median $65,000 earned by Citigroup workers. The ratio is in the mid-range of S&P 500 disclosures and reflects the standard public-company compensation structure. Performance has been positive over the three-year window: TSR of 15.7% alongside 4.2% revenue growth. Compensation packages tied to relative TSR or absolute return benchmarks would have vested at or near target levels with this performance profile.
Say-on-pay support was strong at 93%. The Dodd-Frank-mandated advisory vote on executive compensation passes at most U.S. public companies with comfortable margins; meaningful dissent typically requires either pay-performance misalignment or specific governance concerns. Citigroup operates in Banks with 240,000 employees and $78.5B in annual revenue, and currently carries a market capitalization of $130.0B. Pay comparisons across companies require controlling for these structural factors — a $20M package at a $10B-revenue tech company reads differently than the same package at a $1B-revenue industrial.
