Goldman Sachs Group Inc. awarded Chief Executive Officer Lloyd C. Blankfein $23 million in salary and cash and stock bonuses for 2015, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. That compares with $24 million a year earlier...Blankfein, who also serves as chairman, received $14.7 million in stock based on the Jan. 21 closing share price, half of it tied to future performance, the New York-based company said Friday in a filing. Blankfein, 61, typically receives about 30 percent of his total bonus in cash, making that portion about $6.3 million, a person with knowledge of the payout said, asking not to be identified because it hasn’t been announced. He also receives a $2 million annual salary. [Bloomberg]
