The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"It's peanuts compared to Jamie Dimon who's total compensation for 2025 was $770 million"

Jamie didn't "make" $700 million in compensation for 2025. Most of the number above was from the dollar value of gains from shares he has held forever. It would be like saying Warren "made x $" in a year when his Berkshire holdings increased significantly due to a rising share price.

"Dimon started off 2025 with about 7.3 million shares. With a per-share price of $239.71, his stake was valued at roughly $1.8 billion. The stock price soared to $322.22 at the end of 2025, pushing the stock value of his stake up to about $2.4 billion, which meant Dimon saw about $605.6 million in appreciation plus another $40 million in dividends. This year, he’ll see a 1.5 million stock appreciation right grant vest due to a special one-time award the board gave him in 2021. All told, through stock value gains, dividends, and compensation, Dimon will see about $770 million for his work in 2025, according to reporting by the New York Times that was verified for Fortune by independent compensation firm Farient Advisors."
