Goldman Hikes Pay for Senior Executives and Departing Top Lawyer

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. boosted pay for its top executives, including its chief financial officer and departing general counsel, after a banner year for its shares.

The investment bank boosted President John Waldron’s compensation package for 2025 by 18% to $45 million, according to a proxy filing Friday. The pay for Waldron, widely seen as a top contender to someday become chief executive officer, is more than most Wall Street bank CEOs.
