Sir Martin Sorrell is not going to give up his title as Britain’s highest-paid chief executive any time soon.
It has just been announced that last year the advertising mogul was awarded shares worth £41.6 million in his company, WPP, taking his pay packet in the last five years to over £200 million.
In the past Sir Martin, who is 72, has faced criticism for his vast payouts from WPP, with shareholders rejecting the company's remuneration report in 2012.
But he has always robustly defended the amount he is paid, saying that he has given 30 years of his life to WPP, which he transformed from a wire basket manufacturer into a global marketing business.
