Blackstone Inc. Chief Executive Officer Steve Schwarzman took home $896.7 million last year, a 30% drop from a year earlier, yet still one of the biggest annual payouts on record in high finance.

Schwarzman, 77, collected $777 million in dividends alone from his roughly 20% stake in the alternative-asset manager, according to a regulatory filing Friday. He earned an additional $120 million mostly through incentive fees and the share of fund profits known as carried interest. He received a record $1.27 billion in 2022.
