The pay received by chief executives of the companies listed in the FTSE 100 rose 55% this year, a survey has found.
Company bosses earned an average of £4.9m ($7.8m) each in the 12 months to June this year, up 34%, as bonuses returned to their pre-crisis levels, research by Thomson Reuters found.
That equals 88 times the earnings of an average full-time UK worker.
It confirms a the findings of a report produced by accountants Deloitte Touche published last month.
Across the broader FTSE 350 index of company stocks, the highest individual earner was Bart Becht, of household goods company Reckitt Benckiser, who received £92.6m.
