Comparing Jacques Bogart S.A.'s CEO Compensation With The Industry

At the time of writing, our data shows that Jacques Bogart S.A. has a market capitalization of €71m, and reported total annual CEO compensation of €116k for the year to December 2024. This was the same as last year. It is worth noting that the CEO compensation consists entirely of the salary, worth €116k.

Talking in terms of the industry, salary represented approximately 55% of total compensation out of all the companies we analyzed, while other remuneration made up 45% of the pie. Speaking on a company level, Jacques Bogart prefers to tread along a traditional path, disbursing all compensation through a salary. If salary dominates total compensation, it suggests that CEO compensation is leaning less towards the variable component, which is usually linked with performance.
