An ex-boss of Shell has been paid almost £10m by the oil giant. The cost of living crisis means that millions are struggling to heat their homes, but Ben Van Beurden was paid £9.7 million last year.
The vast pay packet is over £ 3 million more than in 2021. The year before last, the Dutchman took home a total remuneration of £6.3 million.
According to Shell's annual report, his bonus rose from £2.2million in 2021 to £2.6million in 2022. Last month, the London-listed oil giant reported record profits of £32.2billion for 2022, double the previous year's total, reports MirrorOnline.
