So, who are the ASX 200 directors with the largest pay packets? Top 5 highest paid ASX 200 board members The Australian Financial Review, using data from OpenDirector and YellowFolder, this week revealed the highest paid ASX 200 board members. Here are the top five: DirectorRemunerationCompaniesJohn Mullen$2.1 millionTreasury Wine Estates Ltd (ASX: TWE)Brambles Ltd (ASX: BXB)Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN)*Steven Gregg$1.9 millionWestpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC)Ampol Ltd (ASX: ALD)Lottery Corporation Ltd (ASX: TLC)**Scott Perkins$1.8 millionOrigin Energy Ltd (ASX: ORG)Brambles Ltd Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW)Richard Goyder$1.8 millionWoodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS)Qantas**Dominic Barton$1.5 millionRio Tinto Ltd (ASX: RIO)Source: AFR, * – incoming, ** – outgoing The remuneration is calculated just from the base fee for serving on the board, excluding any performance-related options and shares. Despite some progress in installing women onto ASX boards, there are still no female directors earning above the $1 million mark. The only woman director in the top 20 highest paid ladder is Dr Nora Scheinkestel, who is on the board of Westpac, Origin Energy and Brambles. Paid a lot of money to do a job On Thursday, Australian Securities and Investments Commission chair Joe Longo responded to complaints from some company directors that the regulatory burden was becoming too much to bear. According to The Australian, he acknowledged the \"challenges\" involved in carrying out board member duties — but told directors that it's not meant to be an easy job. \"If it were [easy], anyone could do it,\" he said at a AICD event in Melbourne. \"Good directors run successful, profitable businesses. That's not going to happen unless every director takes an active stance of curiosity and starts asking the right questions – to understand their business, and how that business makes money.\"","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2421555020"}
