JPMorgan’s Record Year with Profit Milestones and Leadership Transitions – Jamie Dimon was Paid $39 Million

JPMorgan Chase disclosed that its long-time CEO, Jamie Dimon, would receive an 8.3% increase in compensation for 2024, bringing his total pay to $39 million. This decision came after the bank achieved a record-breaking profit, driven by a resurgence in dealmaking and fundraising activities.

The package included a $1.5 million base salary along with $37.5 million in performance-based incentives. JPMorgan’s historic profit surge was fueled by a strong fourth quarter as its dealmaking and trading divisions benefited from improving market conditions.

Dimon’s previous compensation stood at $36 million for 2023, following two consecutive years of $34.5 million in 2021 and 2022—a period marked by global economic instability, geopolitical conflicts, and the residual impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other senior executives at JPMorgan also saw notable pay increases in 2024, with hikes ranging from 4% to 21%. Dimon’s $39 million package aligns closely with Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, who earned the same amount that year.

Known for his remarkable 19-year tenure, Dimon has indicated plans to retire within the next five years. The board has already identified potential successors, including Marianne Lake, the CEO of consumer and community banking, Troy Rohrbaugh, co-head of the commercial and investment bank, and Mary Erdoes, CEO of asset and wealth management. However, Jennifer Piepszak, another prominent leader at the bank, has opted out of consideration for the role, as confirmed by JPMorgan earlier this month.
