Jamie Dimon’s compensation might be Wall Street’s biggest growth area.

The JPMorgan Chase CEO got a 35 percent raise — to a whopping $27 million — for his work last year after the company brought in record earnings.

Most of his compensation is in shares based on the bank’s performance through the end of 2018; it could amount to nothing if JPMorgan’s stock tanks.

All in all, Dimon took home $1.5 million in salary, $5 million in cash, and the rest in the performance shares.

The bump — from 2014’s $20 million — comes after JPMorgan’s stock rose 5.5 percent last year; every other major US bank lost value.

Last year, proxy investors ISS and Glass Lewis advocated to split Dimon’s CEO-chairman positions and argued his pay should be based on stock performance. Dimon narrowly won the vote.

Shareholders will vote on approving the pay package later this year.
