Shell chief executive Wael Sawan took home $18.4 million in 2025, a 60% jump from the previous year, even as the oil giant's profits fell by more than a fifth and four workers died in workplace accidents.
The FTSE 100 company's annual report, published on Thursday, showed Sawan received $2.5 million in salary, pension, and benefits, plus $3.6 million in annual bonuses and $12.1 million in long-term share awards.
