Shell CEO Peter Voser €6.75 million salary plus €3.5 million bonus

Voser wants half of his bonus (€1.75 million) paid in shares. The full details of the bonuses at the top of Shell will not be known until publication of the annual report of the company.

Peter Voser was in 2010 the highest paid director of any Dutch listed company. read more
