Compensation History

See how much did Vikram Pandit make over time.

Vikram's compensation as CEO of Citigroup varied greatly over the years. In 2010, he accepted just $1 in salary, a symbolic gesture during the company's struggle. His approach to pay emphasized aligning compensation with long-term performance metrics to benefit shareholders. By 2012, his total compensation rose to about $8.4 million, which was mostly due to a salary of $1.75 million and a cash bonus that reflected Citi's performance that year. This was still a reduction from previous highs, showing Pandit's commitment to the company's health over personal gain.
