It isn't clear what her
Last year, Ahrendts was named the highest-paid person on the FTSE 100, The Independent's Laura Chesters reported in July. That means she was the highest-paid executive in all of Britain. Her total pay package was ~ $27 million, $19 million of which was awarded in Burberry shares.
Earlier this year, her pay was reduced to nearly $11 million, but that's still a ton of money.
The Independent writes why Ahrendts has earned such a high salary.
"When she arrived at Burberry in July 2006, the brand was in a turnaround mode put in place by the former chief executive, and another American woman, Rose Marie Bravo….Since she took over, the fashion label has consistently outperformed the FTSE 100. A sum of £100 invested in 2008 would be worth over £360 today - against around £150 for the FTSE 100 as a whole."
