Driss Ben-Brahim
Appearance
Driss Ben Brahim is the former head of Goldman Sachs exotic derivatives desk in London. He was the "toast of the City of London" in 2003 when he scooped the largest bonus in the City's history—a staggering £30M.
On the 13th December 2006 Ben-Brahim was reported to have scooped a record £50m bonus as the head of the proprietary trading desk at Goldman Sachs in London. It's reported to be the largest ever bonus in the city, and one news paper (London Lite), commented it as being 2000 times more than the average UK wage.
