Reckitt chief Rakesh Kapoor among best paid bosses

CEO Rakesh Kapoor was paid nearly £23 million last year in a payday by Reckitt Benckiser, pushing him further up the rankings of Britain's best-paid bosses. The company stated in its 2015 annual report that the remuneration of its chief executive had almost doubled after the group's soaring share price lifted the value of its stock options. It said Kapoor was only paid a bonus of over £3.8 million after the makers of Nurofen and Durex, were criticised six years ago when their former chief executive earned £90 million in one year. Kapoor hit a number of targets related to net revenue and net income growth. His base salary rose 3 per cent to £890,950.
