Citigroup CEO Pandit's 2011 total compensation about $15m

The Citigroup chief executive earned a salary last year for the first time in three years after positioning 'the company for future growth'

Citigroup's chief executive Vikram Pandit, earning a salary last year for the first time in three years, received cash and deferred stock valued at about $15m.

Pandit had worked for $1 in 2010, after cutting his own salary to that amount in February 2009 when Citi was in dire financial condition. But last year, Citi chairman Richard Parsons announced that the board decided Pandit deserved a full salary.
