Mercedes boss Ola Källenius earned twelve million euros in 2023. In total, the car manufacturer's CEO earned 12.74 million euros including pension costs, as shown in the remuneration report.

That was 80 percent more than in 2022. It is even the highest salary of a DAX CEO to date for 2023, but there are still no annual reports from numerous companies in the leading index. Källa and Belen Garijo are the only women to have a double-digit million salary last year.
