According to our data, Max Sight Group Holdings Limited has a market capitalization of HK$72m, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth HK$1.2m over the year to December 2023. There was no change in the compensation compared to last year. We think total compensation is more important but our data shows that the CEO salary is lower, at HK$216k.

For comparison, other companies in the Hong Kong Consumer Services industry with market capitalizations below HK$1.6b, reported a median total CEO compensation of HK$1.8m. That is to say, Timmy Chan is paid under the industry median.
