CEO Pay Survey: How much are our top bosses getting paid - and have they earned it?

CEOs in New Zealand continue to get paid more than ever.

While not as high as the 15 per cent increases seen in 2022, remuneration packages for NZX-listed chief executives increased on average by 3.58 percent in the 2023 financial year.

And despite a stagnant local share market, one CEO has set a new record for the largest ever pay packet in the history of the Herald’s CEO pay survey.

To run us through the trends and the seven figure salaries, we’re joined today on The Front Page by BusinessDesk investigations writer Murray Jones.
