TOKYO (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp (T:7203) President Akio Toyoda earned 352 million yen ($2.84 million/£1.8 million) in total compensation last year after his bonus doubled to about $2 million, the Japanese company said in a regulatory filing on Wednesday.
Toyoda, head of the world's best-selling automaker, received a bonus of 249 million yen in the year ended March, up from 127 million yen in the previous year. His base salary was unchanged.
Toyoda's compensation is roughly a third of what Nissan Motor Co (T:7201) paid Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn in the same period. Ghosn told shareholders on Tuesday he splits his time equally between Nissan and French alliance partner Renault SA (PA:RENA), which he also heads.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (MI:FCHA) CEO Sergio Marchionne was the top-paid automotive executive in 2014, making about 31.3 million euros ($35 million).
Toyota in May reported a 19 percent rise in net profit to 2.17 trillion yen for the business year through March, and forecast a third consecutive year of record profit.
Nissan's net profit grew 18 percent to 457.6 billion yen.
