Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon picked up an eye-popping $47 million compensation package in 2025, the Wall Street giant said on Friday, as the bank enjoys a rebound in its investment banking activity.
The 63-year-old’s pay packet is up 21% from $38 million in 2024. Solomon earned a base salary of $2 million and $45 million in annual variable compensation, Goldman said in a regulatory filing.
It means he pips JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, who picked up a compensation package worth $43 million for 2025, a 10.3% increase from the previous year.
Solomon and his right-hand man, Goldman president and chief operating officer John Waldron, each agreed to $80 million stock-based retention bonuses last year to keep them at 200 West St., Goldman’s main HQ, until January 2030.
A Goldman spokesperson directed The Post to statements made by the bank’s compensation committee.
Executives said they had considered several factors, but stressed that Solomon had overseen a “strong performance in support of our clients across global banking & markets and asset & wealth management.”
