The next chief of China’s Sinopec Group -- the world’s top oil refiner -- can expect to get a fraction of what counterparts at international energy companies earn.
Wang Yupu, who resigned in September as chairman of state-owned Sinopec Group, was given total compensation of 829,900 yuan (about $126,500) last year, according to a statement Tuesday from the company, officially known as China Petrochemical Corp. That’s dwarfed by just the salaries of BP Plc Chief Executive Officer Bob Dudley ($1.85 million) and Exxon Mobil Corp. head Darren Woods ($1 million).
