| Mead, 51, confirmed at the London trial of his former secretary, Joyti De-Laurey who was jailed for seven years in 2004 for stealing £4.5m from Mead and other Goldman Sachs executives that when the company floated in 1999, he received a windfall of about £50m. The sharp rise in Goldmans share price after the flotation and his bonuses until his departure in 2003 should give him a fortune of at least £80m. |
