The annual executive salary survey of "The Australian Financial Review" shows that former Amcor CEO Ken MacKenzie was paid $A20.92m in 2015, making him the best-paid head of a listed company in the nation. Overall, Australia’s 300 highest-paid CEOs have received a combined pay increase of five per cent in 2015, and the average annual salary of the top CEOs has exceeded $A3m for the first time. Some 31 of the highest-paid CEOs have stepped down in 2015, which significantly bolstered their remuneration for the year.
