Moynihan marked 10 years at the helm in January. After inheriting a bank that was on the brink of extinction, the CEO turned the company around, boosting shares 129%, carrying out $88 billion in share buybacks and dividends, and converting multibillion-dollar losses into record profits. Still, net income fell 2.5% to $27.4 billion last year after an impairment charge and a slip in profit at the company’s investment bank and trading divisions.

Elsewhere on Wall Street, JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon got a 1.6% bump to $31.5 million for last year, while Morgan Stanley head James Gorman’s compensation fell 6.9% to $27 million.
