Burberry, a native of Indiana, Angela Ahrendts, CEO is now the Executive better paid in Britain, according to a survey of manifest, a British group of corporate governance and pay consultant MM K &, cited by the Guardian. 16.9 Million pounds, the package of payment ' Ahrendts is nearly 5 million pounds more than the next most senior British Executive paid, according to the Guardian.

While achievement ' Ahrendts mark an important step forward for the women of high power on either side of the pond, women in both countries still faces many obstacles to reach the position ' Ahrendts. In Great Britain, Ahrendts is one of only three CEOs women running major companies in the country. In the United States, women represent only 4 percent of CEOs at S & P 500 companies.

Despite the position of ' Ahrendts as one of the few females in the top of the corporate ladder, she opposes possible policy changes that could help other British women get. Ahrendts said last year that she is not in favor of quotas requiring that a certain number of women is present on the boards of the companies, according to the Telegraph.

And in Britain, the global gender pay gap was around the 19.7 percent last year, according to a report from the guardian.
