Goldman Sachs Group Inc. president and chief operating officer John Waldron earned total compensation of $33 million for his work in 2021, up from $18.5 million in 2020, according to a proxy statement filed by the bank on Friday.

In 2020, Waldron’s pay was reduced by $7 million to $18.5 million from $25.5 million as part of the board’s determination stemming from an investigation into Goldman’s role in raising $6.5 billion bond sales for the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) state fund. CEO David Solomon received total compensation for his work in 2021 of $35 million, up from $17.5 million in 2020, as previously disclosed.
