I was talking to an aquaintance about this type of thing yesterday. He told me about his Brother-in-Law, who was the C.E.O of the London 'branch' of a big American finance institution.

Apparently, last year he 'only' earnt £25k a month salary but got a £12 million bonus for the year.

You could buy a nice track car with that amount.
