London - Royal Dutch Shell chief executive Ben van Beurden will earn a total €24.2m for 2014, making him one of the highest-earning FTSE 100 bosses despite last year's sharp fall in oil prices.
Van Beurden's total pay includes €5.6m in salary, bonus and shares plus pension and other items, the company said on Thursday.
His 2014 compensation, when calculated in British pounds, places him as the second-highest-paid senior executive on the FTSE 100 share index after WPP chief executive Martin Sorrell, whose 2013 pay package reached £29.8m, according to think tank High Pay Centre.
