Allan Moss, the head of Australian bank Macquaries and former South African, is now officially the country’s highest paid CEO, earning a whopping $33 million last year!
And amazingly the highest earning woman in Australia is also a South African import. Gail Kelly joined the Commonwealth Bank in 1997 and is due to take over the CEO role of Westpac in February next year. She is also ranked in the top 5 of the most powerful women in the world. You go, girl!!
And it seems that South Africans fair pretty well generally in Australia where the average salary is $57,000 but the average South African migrant earns $70,000.
Similar climates, culture and lifestyle make for a smooth transition to a new life from South Africa to Australia, where employees are enthusiastic to take on SA staff who are recognised as having a good work ethic.
