TheBadPlacebing news | BlackRock CEO Larry Fink took home nearly $38M last year for leading world’s largest investment firm
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s 2025 compensation jumped to $37.7 million, up from $30.8 million the year before. The pay package consisted of a $1.5 million base salary, a $10.6 million cash bonus and a $6.5 million increase in stock awards, accounting for the bulk of the $7 million rise in total remuneration.
The increase drew criticism from proxy adviser Institutional Shareholder Services, which last year recommended that investors oppose the firm’s executive pay plans. Despite that, BlackRock reported that 67 % of votes cast supported the compensation package. In January, the asset manager disclosed that its assets under management had hit a record $14 trillion, and it posted a fourth‑quarter 2025 net profit of $2.18 billion, excluding one‑time charges.
In a letter to investors, Fink said the company is entering 2026 with “elevated momentum” and is positioned ahead of significant future opportunities. The firm’s shares rose 4.5 % in 2025, although they have declined more than 12 % so far this year.
