Even Outside the CEO Position, Akio Toyoda Received US$ 13.5 Million and Became the Highest-Paid Executive in Toyota History.

The former CEO of Toyota, Akio Toyoda, may have left the top job over two years ago, but he remains on top. Serving as chairman of the board, he has just set a historical record: he received US$ 13.5 million in the last fiscal year, ending on March 31, equivalent to 1.95 billion yen.

This amount makes him the highest-paid executive in the history of the Japanese automaker. Information from the specialized site carscoops.

20% Salary Increase

The amount received by Toyoda represents a 20% increase compared to the fiscal year 2023.

This change aligns with a new Toyota policy that now bases the salaries of its top executives on global standards. Additionally, the automaker has eliminated performance performance evaluations for the chairman and the CEO.

Even with the increase, Toyota experienced a 10% decline in consolidated operating profit, which reached 4.8 trillion yen (about US$ 28 billion). Production also decreased, and costs increased. Nevertheless, Toyoda’s earnings were unaffected.

Current CEO Received Much Less

While Toyoda topped the company’s compensation ranking, the current CEO and president, Koji Sato, received significantly less: 826 million yen, equivalent to US$ 5.67 million.

A regulatory document cited by Nikkei Asia showed that at least seven other Toyota executives, including a former board member, earned more than 100 million yen (around US$ 687,000) each.

Comparisons with Other Industry Leaders

Although it seems high, Toyoda’s salary is far from the largest among heads of global automakers.

The CEO of General Motors, Mary Barra, received US$ 29.5 million last year.

Jim Farley from Ford received US$ 24.9 million. Carlos Tavares, former Stellantis, earned US$ 23.9 million before resigning early due to poor performance.

The new CEO of Stellantis, Antonio Filosa, could earn up to US$ 10.2 million in his first year.

Other key executives also had substantial salaries.

Oliver Blume from Volkswagen received around US$ 11.8 million. Euisun Chung from Hyundai took home US$ 8.8 million, and Luca de Meo from Renault received US$ 6.2 million.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

Gepard 1A2: the armored vehicle that fires 1,100 rounds per minute and became a shield against drones in Brazil.

The United States Army has an armored vehicle that reaches speeds of up to 100 km/h, capable of operating normally on different types of terrain and also on asphalt without causing damage; equipped with a 350 hp engine, it can transport up to 9 soldiers — meet the Stryker.

Man loses his job, faces a 55,000 km bike ride through more than 50 countries, endures desert, heat of 51 degrees, accidents, and isolation on a journey that began with the goal of reaching India.

If you are obtaining or renewing your driver’s license, you need to know this now: a new law divides the fee into stages, and those who choose only the digital license will not have to pay for the printed document in 2026.

The Earth will plunge into a few minutes of darkness in broad daylight in August 2026, when a total solar eclipse transforms the sky into one of the most impressive astronomical phenomena in recent years.

These living root bridges and ladders are over 700 years old and help indigenous people survive in one of the rainiest regions in the world.

The largest food company on the planet, JBS, has just opened a 4,000 square meter laboratory in Florianópolis to develop customized proteins that modulate muscle mass gain, immune response, and metabolic performance.

After nearly 30 bids and competition among industry giants, a Spanish company purchases one of the largest airports in Brazil for almost R$ 3 billion and takes over the management of Galeão in a concession that will last until 2039.
