Top British CEOs earn in a week what workers make in a year
London
THE year has just begun, but by Friday afternoon the CEOs of Britain's biggest companies will have already earned as much since Jan 1 as the average worker will make in all of 2019.
The FTSE 100 bosses will reach this milestone around 1pm London time, two hours earlier than last year, after an 11 per cent jump in pay, according to a report from CIPD, an association for human resource professionals, and the High Pay Centre, a research group.
