TOKYO -- Top bosses in Japan are bringing home more money as earnings-linked bonuses climb, yet still make one-ninth of their U.S. counterparts.
Median CEO pay in Japan grew to 160 million yen ($1.48 million) in fiscal 2018, up 10 million yen on the year, according to data from a five-country study by advisory firm Willis Towers Watson. The figure was 1.48 billion yen in the U.S. -- widening the gap with Japan from the year before -- and 740 million yen in Germany.
