Multiple reports say a new analysis of Australian publicly listed company executives shows large gaps between CEO pay and typical worker earnings. The reports cite data for the 2024-25 financial year covering the ASX100, stating that the median ASX100 chief executive earns $4,800,898. That median figure is described as about 45 times the earnings of an Australian full-time worker, with the average worker salary given as $106,657 per annum. The outlets also report that the top-paid CEO earns dramatically more than the median and far more than the typical worker, with the highest-paid executive earning nearly 500 times the full-time average salary. While one report describes the top CEO as relatively less well known, both reports emphasize the scale of the difference between executive remuneration and average wages. The information is presented as part of a wider disclosure or list of chief executive compensation across major companies.
