Here are the UK's top-paid FTSE 100 CEOs— as report finds exec salaries at record high

The bosses of Britain’s biggest listed companies took home record salaries in the latest financial year, according to a new report.

Median pay among FTSE 100 chief executive officers was £4.58 million ($6.2 million) in the year to March 31, the High Pay Centre found — up from £4.29 million in the 2023-2024 financial year and the highest figure since companies have been required to disclose a single figure for CEO pay, in 2013.

Mean bonus payments meanwhile increase to £1.61 million from £1.48 million, the think tank said.

CNBC has not independently verified the figures in the report. The High Pay Centre’s report does not include privately-held companies, meaning it does not reflect all of the the U.K.’s top earners.

The average U.K. full-time worker earned £37,430 last year, or 122 times less than the typical FTSE 100 chief. That gap is even higher in the U.S., where the bosses of the biggest listed companies made around 290 times that of the average worker in 2023, according to a report from the Economic Policy Institute.
