How Does Antoine Leccia's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
Our data indicates that AdVini S.A. is worth €105m, and total annual CEO compensation is €418k. (This is based on the year to December 2017). While we always look at total compensation first, we note that the salary component is less, at €315k. We took a group of companies with market capitalizations below €176m, and calculated the median CEO total compensation to be €145k.
