McDonald's CEO's 2019 Compensation Soars 800x Average Employee Salary

In 2019, Kempczinski's total compensation included a $700,000 bonus, stocks, and options, totalling over $18 million. This is approximately 800 times more than the estimated annual salary of a typical McDonald's crew member in Germany for 2024, which is around €21,000 gross per year.
Kempczinski's net worth has also grown significantly. By 2021, it had surpassed $18 million, reflecting his substantial compensation packages over the years.
The disparity in earnings between McDonald's CEO Christopher Kempczinski and its average employee is vast. While the CEO's compensation continues to rise, the projected average salary for employees remains much lower.
