The chief executive Jonathan Bloomer, finance director Philip Broadley, and other top executives at Prudential could earn up to £18m over the next three years, according to a BBC report today.

The executives are covered by a cash and shares pay scheme, as outlined in its annual report which was published on Thurdsay.

Prudential has defended the plan, saying it is a good incentive scheme - because chiefs will only get the top pay-out if the company is ranked first among thirty insurers.
