EXCLUSIVE: Karren Brady DOUBLES her West Ham salary to £2.24m, thanks to a one-off £1m bonus for bringing in Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky… but her pay is still well below male Premier League counterparts like Daniel Levy

  • West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady saw her salary more than double in 2022 
  • Brady was given a £1m bonus after bringing in Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky
  • Despite her significant salary increase, she still earns less than Daniel Levy 
  • Levy earns three times Brady’s salary as chief executive at Tottenham

West Ham’s Karren Brady more than doubled her salary in 2022 – picking up a cool £2.24m.

The club’s vice-chairman, who was paid £1.33m in 2021, pocketed a one-off £1m bonus – which is understood to have been in recognition for her role in bringing billionaire investor Daniel Kretinsky to the table.

The Czech bought 27 per cent of the club in November last year and is thought to be likely to substantially increase that stake in the future with a full takeover on the cards at the London Stadium.

Club insiders say, even including the bonus, Brady’s renumeration remains well below that of certain male counterparts elsewhere in chief executive roles in the Premier League. 

The sum, for example, is thought to be around a third of what Daniel Levy earns at London rivals Tottenham.

Regardless, the Baroness and star of the Apprentice has now earned close to £13m since joining West Ham in 2011.

Any sale of West Ham is likely to take place after March 2023, when a clause which commits current owners David Gold and David Sullivan to pay penalties to the taxpayer should the club be sold for more than £300m expires.

Despite her bumper pay rise, Brady still earns significantly less than Tottenham's Daniel Levy
