Pracovať pre GS sa oplatí
Po prepočte takmer 15 miliónov korún na osobu ročne – to nie je tak zlé. Napr. LEH vyplatí takmer o polovicu menej. CEO Goldman Sachs v tomto roku zinkasuje „len“ niečo cez 1,50 mld. korún....
So marks another banner year for Goldman Sachs employees.
The venerated Wall Street bank spent $20.2 billion this year on employee salaries and bonuses, up 23 percent from $16.4 billion last year, the company said when it reported strong fourth-quarter results Tuesday.
If that were to be handed out evenly among the 30,522 employees of Goldman (GS, Fortune 500), that would come to about $661,490 a person. Last year, that figure came to just $621,906.
By comparison, Lehman Brothers (LEH, Fortune 500), which reported a drop in fourth-quarter profit last week, set aside $9.5 billion for 2007 compensation, up about 10 percent from last year. Given Lehman's 28,556 employees, that would come to a payout of about $332,600 per head.
To be sure, the riches won't be spread equally across each Wall Street firm. The biggest chunks of cash are expected to go to top performers and executives like Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein.
News reports have pegged Blankfein's payout this year at about $70 million, besting the $54 million he was awarded in 2006, which was a record for a Wall Street CEO.
But unlike some of its rivals, which have seen their stock hammered and billions of dollars evaporate from their balance sheets, Goldman Sachs has proven to be unshakable.
