Goldman Sachs’ CEO Lloyd Blankfein is set to take home compensation worth about $9 million for 2009, ending a high-stakes staring contest over bonuses with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.
And Dimon, whose $17 million deal was revealed earlier today, has been lifted to banking’s highest paid executive–a position he had hoped to avoid.
In a filing released late today, it was revealed that Blankfein would be awarded 58,381 Goldman in restricted shares. The payout is identical to what other Goldman top brass are receiving, including COO Gary Cohn, CFO David Viniar and Vice Chairmen Michael Evans and John Weinberg.
Wall Street had been watching the two executives, considered the men who most adeptly navigated the credit collapse, to see how much they would be paid in the middle of a growing furor over big banker bonuses.
