Anheuser-Busch Execs Get $1.33 Billion Bonuses

Executive bonuses at Anheuser-Busch / InBev totaled over $1.33 Billion (With a “B”), and even though it is split among 40 execs, this amount is staggering and more than even the largest craft brewers in the US make in a year.  Details from Reuters UK:

Discontent is building against executive bonuses totaling more than 1 billion euros ($1.33 billion) at Anheuser-Busch InBev triggered when the brewer cut its huge debt two years ahead of target following the acquisition of the maker of Budweiser.

Executive options were set on how rapidly the world’s biggest brewer could cut debt, and with the target now reached Chief Executive Carlos Brito is in line for a windfall of more than 100 million euros among 40 AB InBev executives set to benefit from the scheme.
