[WAPO] The lavish fringe benefits included country club dues, chauffeured drivers, personal financial planning services, home security systems and parking.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase received perks amounting to $266,000 in 2009
A review of the 29 largest publicly traded financial companies that received federal aid found that nearly one in three increased fringe benefits for their chief executives. This includes hefty increases in perks for likes of Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein and McLean-based Capital One chief executive Richard Fairbank.
Last year, executives at the firms surveyed received perks and benefits worth more than $140,000 on average, compared with $380,000 in 2008.
Enough already. Enough.
