Fatcats' 40% payrise

..that's six times what workers got

- GRAHAM HISCOTT

AVERAGE pay for Britain's top bosses soared 40% last year... six times a typical worker's increase.

Between them, 120 greedy company chiefs shared an "obscene" £420million.

The Mirror analysed figures for all 60 FTSE 100 companies that have published annual reports this year.

We looked at total packages salaries, bonuses, pension payments and other benefits for 120 chief executives and chief financial officers.

Of those, 54 earned more than last year and 49 made less.

It was not possible to calculate figures for the rest, who started their jobs midway through the year.

The average fatcat raked in £3.5m 133 times more than a typical worker.
