    By 5pm on Monday chief executives of companies in the FTSE 100 will on average have already earned in 2020 what a typical full time employee will earn in the whole of the year, according to a new study.

    The report by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and the High Pay Centre think tank says the average FTSE 100 boss was paid £3.46m in 2018, or £901.30 an hour - 117 times the average UK annual wage of £29,559.

    They use the word 'earned' incorrectly. S/be 'paid' for those on these obscenely high salaries.
