Omnicom CEO John Wren received a total compensation package worth $69.9 million in 2025, up from $21.7 million in 2024, according to data from regulatory filings provided to ADWEEK by executive intelligence firm Equilar. The data detailed how much seven CEOs for the world’s leading advertising holding companies, including Publicis, WPP, and Havas, made in 2025.
