Citigroup investment banking chief John Havens took home more than $9m (€6.2m) in total compensation last year, making him the highest-paid employee at the New York company.

Pay has been a lightning rod for criticism of Citigroup after the company received $45bn in bailout funds. Citigroup last month repaid $20bn of those funds, but the US government remains the company's largest shareholder with a roughly 27% stake.
