In the 2014 financial year, the average pay packet ran to £4.96 million ($8.22 million).

But many are paid much more than that - the HPC lists the top ten, most of whom took home between twice and ten times the average even for their peers.

The dollar salary amounts are converted using HMRC's average exchange rate figures for the 2014 financial year.
