美国各银行CEO的薪酬排行

Go ahead. Pinch yourself. It is true. Brady Dougan, the CEO of Credit Suisse Group, is earning roughly twice as much as Goldman Sachs Group chief Lloyd Blankfein and about a $1 million more than J.P. Morgan Chase CEO James Dimon.

The low-key Dougan is being paid $17.9 million for his work in 2009, a reward for returning the company to profitability. That makes him the world's second-highest paid banker this year, according to Deal Journal's calculations. The world's biggest banker bonus went to Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf, who was paid $21.3 million in 2009.

Credit Suisse didn't require a government bailout and avoided the legal problems that ensnared its Swiss cousin, UBS, whose CEO Oswald Gruebel was paid $2.8 million for his work in 2009. Deutsche Bank CEO Josef Ackermann earned $12.7 million in 2009, another European bank that was profitable last year.

In another recent sign of the topsy-turvy world of banker pay, Lazard on Tuesday said CEO Kenneth Jacobs would receive $7.4 million for his work in 2009, a fraction of the $20.4 million his predecessor, the late Bruce Wassertstein, was paid in 2008.

To be sure, Jacobs took over as CEO in only November, following Wasserstein's death. Still, it is unlikely that Jacobs will ever come close to Wasserstein's compensation. (Wasserstein's estate received $188 million from restricted stock units that vested upon his death.)

Here's Deal Journal's updated banker CEO scorecard:

John Stumpf, Wells Fargo CEO, $21.3 million in cash and stock.

Brady Dougan, Credit Suisse CEO, $17.9 million in cash bonus, salary and stock.

Kenneth I. Chenault, American Express CEO, $17.4 million largely in cash bonus and equity payments.

James Dimon, J.P. Morgan CEO, received a bonus of about $17 million in restricted stock and options for 2009.

Richard Handler, Jefferies CEO, got $12 million cash and restricted stock bonus in 2009.

Richard Fairbank, Capital One Financial CEO, was awarded $9.75 million in stock options, but no cash bonus or salary.

Lloyd Blankfein, CEO Goldman Sachs, $9 million, all in stock.

James Gorman, Morgan Stanley CEO, received no cash bonus but still could walk away with stock-based compensation valued at nearly $9 million, thanks to deferred and performance-based stock he received for 2009. Gorman got an $800,000 annual salary for 2009. Gorman took over as CEO on Jan. 1, so much of his compensation reflects his previous duties running the firm's global wealth management business.

Brian Moynihan, Bank of America CEO, a salary of $950,000. His predecessor, Kenneth Lewis, typically received a base salary of $1.5 million. Directors decided not to award Mr. Moynihan a bonus for 2009. He spent most of last year running BofA's retail bank.
