Family Office CEO Compensation Jumps By More Than 100%
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The compensation of Family Office CEOs has jumped by a huge 133% in the last six years. In 2016, as part of the first Agreus Compensation Benchmark Report, we revealed that the most common salary belonging to CEOs sat between £150,001 and £200,000. By 2017 this had increased to £300,000 and now, the most common basic salary achieved by Family Office CEOs stands at £300,001 - £350,000. An increase of as much as £200,000 in just six years. In 2016, the average CEO salary stood at £165,000. Fast-forward to today and this average sits around the £200,001 to £250,000 mark. When considering the fact that just 6% of CEOs today are paid less than £100,000 and and a further 13% less than £150,000, you can imagine this figure is much higher in practice with 49% achieving way over £200,000 a year.

This line in the Supreme Court abortion ruling signals gay marriage and contraception could be next
In another monumental 6-3 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday eliminated the federal right to an abortion, striking down the protection granted by the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 and now leaving rights and regulations to states. advertisement advertisement The consequences of the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization will be severe, and in some cases, immediate: Many states have “trigger bans,” allowing abortion prohibitions to go into law right away. Other states intended to put into place bans after the decision was published, which was all but certain following a leak of the draft in May. But the consequences of the broad decision could be even more far-reaching than women’s rights to abortions, namely placing in danger the legal rights to contraception, same-sex marriage, and even private sexual relationships. The basis of the decision, in the opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, was that the right to abortion … [Read more...] about This line in the Supreme Court abortion ruling signals gay marriage and contraception could be next

French government supports enshrining abortion in constitution
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said the government would support the pro-abortion bill 'wholeheartedly' PARIS - Politicians representing a parliamentary majority on Saturday voiced support for a bill enshrining abortion rights in France's constitution, after the US Supreme Court revoked the nationwide legal protection for American women to terminate pregnancies.

Wade" ruling that guaranteed US abortion rights and several conservative states immediately announced they would ban abortion. France was one of several US allies to condemn the decision, with President Emmanuel Macron denouncing a threat to women's freedom. The leader of Macron's party in parliament on Saturday said she had tabled a … [Read more...] about French government supports enshrining abortion in constitution
