- Money makes the world go ’round – Notable criminal enterprise Goldman Sach’s reveals their bonuses:
The bank – which will report its final results for 2011 on Wednesday – has already set aside 44 per cent of the $22.76bn (£14.89bn) of revenues it generated during the first nine months of the year to pay staff. The lion’s share will be shared by a small number of elite level “partners”.
If pay remains at that level in the fourth quarter, the final compensation ratio will show a significant rise over the 39.3 per cent of revenues handed out by Goldman in 2010, when the total pay out was $15.38bn.
Analysts expect Goldman’s final numbers to show a 62 per cent fall in earnings per share when compared to last year.
