Porsche's CEO pay shake-up reveals Blume's €3M earnings drop

Porsche's executive pay structure has come under scrutiny as details of recent earnings emerge. Oliver Blume, former CEO of both Volkswagen and Porsche, saw a significant drop in compensation after stepping back from his dual role. The changes coincide with Michael Leiters taking full charge at Porsche in early 2026.

Oliver Blume earned roughly €7.4 million in 2024, with about €1.9 million coming from his position at Porsche. His total pay included a base salary, pension provisions, and long-term incentives. The following year, his earnings fell by around €3 million after he focused solely on his role as Volkswagen's CEO.

Porsche's compensation model for executives combines a fixed salary with a variable bonus. This bonus depends on financial performance and annual targets set by the supervisory board. However, specific figures for Michael Leiters' first full fiscal year as Porsche CEO remain undisclosed. Without these details, a direct comparison between his pay and Blume's previous earnings at Porsche is not possible.

Blume's reduced compensation reflects his shift to a single leadership position at Volkswagen. The variable pay structure at Porsche continues to link executive earnings to company performance. No further details on Leiters' total pay have been released so far.
