WPP shareholders have approved a proposal to pay CEO Cindy Rose a maximum of $14.8 million (£11.1 million) a year.
The pay package sets Rose’s base salary at $1.7 million (£1.25 million) with total compensation rising substantially if short- and long-term bonuses are paid in full.
This marks a significant increase on the maximum $10.8 million (£8.6 million) payout earmarked for Rose’s predecessor, Mark Read, before his exit in September 2025.
The vote took place during WPP’s annual general meeting, hosted in London. 75% of shareholders voted in favor of changes to the company’s executive director pay structure.
