Goldman Sachs CEO Blankfein Took a Small Haircut in Salary

In his 11th year as chief executive of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein took a $1 million (4%) cut in compensation, earning $22 million for 2016. His compensation reflects a new pay structure, in which equity awards are tied to the firm’s performance. As a result, Blankfein and Citi’s Michael Corbat were the only big bank chief executives to see a pay cut for 2016. 

 

While Goldman’s shares jumped by 34% - largely due to the Trump bump – Goldman reported a 9% drop in revenues for 2016, and its return on equity (ROI) of 9.4% was below the figure that analysts believe is needed to cover a bank's cost of capital.
