JPMorgan Chase raised CEO Jamie Dimon’s compensation to $43 million in 2025, his 20th year at the helm of the bank.
According to a document sent this Thursday, the board granted Dimon a base salary of US$1.5 million and US$41.5 million in variable compensation linked to performance. In total, the amount represents an increase of 10.3% compared to 2024, when he received US$39 million.
“As part of the assessment and decision, the board considered Mr. Dimon’s continued development of senior executives to lead today and in the future, his ongoing commitment to shareholders, and his long and exemplary leadership of a premier financial services company,” the document says.
Opportunity with security!
Dimon runs the largest U.S. bank, which posted its eighth consecutive year of record revenue, and is one of the longest-serving CEOs on Wall Street. Last year, the bank opened a new tower on Park Avenue to house its headquarters.
The institution has benefited from greater volatility in the markets, which boosts trading activity between clients, in addition to a resumption in mergers and acquisitions operations. In 2025, JPMorgan earned $57 billion, just shy of the 2024 record.
The same day the board announced Dimon’s pay raise, President Donald Trump took aim at the bank. Trump sued JPMorgan and Dimon for at least $5 billion, alleging that the institution stopped offering banking services to him and his companies for political reasons.
