How many millions has Sir Martin Sorrell made since 2004? Take a look at this graph

We see this every year – WPP Boss Sir Martin Sorrell gets a bumper pay award and a row among shareholders erupts.

This year is no different. The CEO of the world’s largest advertising agency holding group WPP is facing a shareholder revolt over his £43m pay award for 2014 – the second-largest annual sum he has earned.

A WPP spokesperson told LondonlovesBusiness.com “Over 90% of Sir Martin Sorrell’s remuneration in 2014 was performance based, the vast majority of which was from the five year LEAP scheme and £19m wholly attributable to share price appreciation and dividends. WPP achieved Total Shareholder Return of 171.5% in the five year period compared with the FTSE100’s 21.3% rise over the same period.”

Sir Martin Sorrell is the second most highly paid FTSE 100 chief executive after Royal Dutch Shell’s Ben van Beurden who received £20m in 2014. Sir Martin earned more than eight times the £5.04m average pay for a FTSE 100 boss, according to the High Pay Centre. (Read: The top 10 highest-paid CEOs in the FTSE 100)

In April this year, he donated £21m to his charitable trust.

This was the seventh consecutive year the APP chief donated shares to the charity.
