The 52- year \u2013old Gary Cohn received a compensation package of $19 million which was 12 percent higher than that which John S Weinberg and Michael Evans the Vice Chairmen of the company had been awarded. This has been the first compensation \u2013disparity since the 2007 when the bonus that Blankfein had received had set a Wall Street Chief Executive Officer record.<\/p>\n

This change has also fueled speculation about who would be Blankfein\u2019s successor. In June 2006, Blankfein had succeeded Henry Paulson as CEO and said that he intends to stay indefinitely rooted to the position. \u00a0New York\u2019s Boyden Global Executive Search managing director, Jeanne Branthover said that a higher compensation is generally an indication that the person is eventually running for a particular post. Vice Chairman Evans who oversees the emerging markets business for the company received $17 million and Weinberg who helps in overseeing investment banking received the same amount.<\/p>\n

David Viniar the firm\u2019s Chief Financial Officer who retired at the start of 2013 had been awarded $19 million while the 2012 package that Cohn received included a cash bonus amount of $5.15 million. Weinberg and Evans, each had got a cash award of $4.55 million. According to the filing, Blankfein got $21 million for 2012 which has been his highest annual compensation since 2007. This amount boosted him to the top of the CEO compensation list for America\u2019s ten largest banks. James Morgan of Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) (Closed: $29.28, Down by 2.02%) received $9.75 million while Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) (closed: $49.01, Down by 0.61%) had been awarded $11.5 million.<\/p>\n
Goldman Sachs is the United States\u2019 fifth-biggest bank by assets and had reported its first revenue increase in three years, in 2012.
