Here's how CEOs of largest companies in Singapore are being paid

The top ranking boss receives over $9million.

Singapore Business Review compiled the published annual reports of Singapore's largest publicly traded companies for 2012. We looked for the total remuneration of the chief executive officers for the full-year in the annual reports and here's what we found:

DBS' Piyush Gupta receives the highest compensation package at $9.33 million.

Mr Gupta has a basic salary of $1.2 million but received a cash bonus amounting to $3.5 million; $4.6 million share plan and other non-cash benefits totaling $31,249 for the full year.

Mr Gupta is followed by City Development's Kwek Leng Beng, Choong Chiau Beng and Tang Kin Fei.

The CEO of DBS' rival, OCBC came in fifth with $5.55 million.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
