Stephen Hester- the ultimate sacrifice!
It takes a real man to give up £640,000 of his bonus and accept only £963,000!
Greater love hath no man for the taxpayers he works for.
Now with only that and his £1.2 million salary he's going to have to look for economies in his lifestyle.
Luckily he enjoys gardening so he should be able to grow enough food on his 350 acre estate to survive on although it means he will have less time to visit his chalet in Switzerland.
On the bright side his bonus is in shares and they have halved in value since he took over- in three years when he gets them who knows.
No wonder they say it's tough at the top!
