Misleading headline alert! You left out the word 'cash'. Besides, a 'get rich slowly' arrangement whereby bonuses are paid in shares (plus the dividends on them) after a delay isn't as much of an advance on paying out cash as Osborne likes to think.

Huge slugs of shares that take some years to vest (ie, before he's allowed to sell them). Can't remember the details now but he lost something like £15-£20 million on the shares he held last year.
