Goldman Sachs (GS) Chairman and CEO David Solomon’s total 2025 compensation rose to $47M from $39M a year earlier, a 21% Y/Y jump, the investment bank disclosed on Friday.
He received a $2M base salary along with a $45M bonus in the form of stock, cash and carried interest, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
In making its determination, the compensation committee considered a slew of positive developments, from significant shareholder value (+57% total shareholder return, +33% in quarterly dividend, and +6.2% book value per share) to strong financial performance (+27% in diluted EPS and a 230-basis-point improvement in return on average common equity).
By comparison, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon earned $43M in 2025, up 10.2% Y/Y.
