But Weston’s Loblaw compensation isn’t the full picture, as he is also head of the George Weston Ltd. holding company
Galen Weston took in $8.4 million in total compensation in the 2022 fiscal year in his role at the head of Loblaw Companies Ltd.
Meanwhile, Empire Company Ltd. CEO Michael Medline took in $8.7 million, while Metro Inc. CEO Eric La Flèche earned $5.4 million. His total compensation reached $11.7 million in 2022, a nearly $1.1-million increase from the year before. While Weston’s Loblaw compensation jumped significantly year over year, a 56 per cent increase compared with smaller increases received by his competitors, he was also promoted to the top leadership role mid-2021, which muddies the comparison between his 2022 and 2021 compensation.
