Wall Street’s struggling? CEOs are busy counting their money

It may have been a tepid year for Wall Street, but its CEOs are in the money.

Goldman Sachs’ Lloyd Blankfein took home $24 million in total compensation for 2014 — about $1 million more than in 2013, according to a regulatory filing on Thursday.

Blankfein took home $2 million in base salary, plus about $14.7 million in restricted stock and another $7.3 million in a cash bonus.

Meanwhile, at JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon raked in $20 million in total compensation — with $1.5 million in salary, $11.1 million in restricted stock, and a $7.4 million cash bonus.

While Dimon’s 2014 compensation was flat from 2013, it’s the first time he’s received a cash bonus since 2011, according to filings.

The 58-year-old CEO has seen wild swings in his total compensation since helming the bank 10 years ago.

Including restricted stock, he was awarded compensation of almost $50 million in 2007 — but in 2008 accepted just his $1 million salary with no bonus, although some previous restricted stock became unrestricted.

While JPM, the No. 1 US bank by assets, kept most of its top executives’ compensation flat, raises were handed out to its two top women.

Marianne Lake, the bank’s CFO, and Mary Callahan Erdoes, the CEO of the bank’s asset management unit, both saw their total compensation in cash and restricted stock increase from 2013 levels, the filings show.

Lake, in her first full year as the bank’s top financial officer, earned about $10 million, compared to $8.5 million in 2013.

Erdoes, whose unit’s assets under management grew by 9 percent in 2014, made $16.5 million, up from $15 million in 2013.
