The record
Jamie Dimon has run JPMorgan Chase since December 31, 2005, when he succeeded William Harrison as chief executive, and has been chairman since 2007, according to the bank. Before that he was president of Citigroup in 1998, joined Bank One as chairman and chief executive in 2000, and became JPMorgan Chase's president and chief operating officer when the two banks merged on July 1, 2004. He earned a bachelor's degree from Tufts and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
The 2012 trading losses in the bank's Chief Investment Office fed directly into his own pay. The board cut his 2012 pay by half, to $11.5 million, citing the losses and his responsibility as chief executive, and recommended against a shareholder proposal to split the chairman and CEO roles. In 2013 the bank admitted the facts behind SEC charges, which said senior management had not promptly informed the board's audit committee.
In May 2023 he was deposed at the bank's Manhattan headquarters in lawsuits over Jeffrey Epstein; according to the bank, he never met or emailed Epstein and was not involved in decisions on his accounts. His pay has since risen to $39 million for 2024 and $43 million for 2025. In January 2025 Fortune reported that his timeline to step down was no longer five years.
