Although his take-home compensation has significantly decreased over the last two fiscal years, Ralph Mupita, President and CEO of MTN Group, Africa’s largest telecom services provider, continues to rank among the continent’s highest-paid CEOs.
Mupita’s yearly compensation decreased noticeably from $1.4 million in 2021 to $1.13 million in 2022, despite the fact that MTN Group ended its 2022 fiscal year with strong profits and revenues.
According to data compiled by Billionaires.Africa, Mupita’s short-term incentive (STI) allocations for 2022, which are linked to the company’s targets and represent 18.8 percent of his total paid compensation, have decreased.
The STI earnings of Mupita decreased by 30.7 percent, from $893,000 in 2021 to $619,000 in 2022. The group’s profits increased from R16.99 billion ($901.3 million) in 2021 to R24.26 billion ($1.29 billion) at the end of the 2022 fiscal year, yet this still happened.
