After food delivery company Yemeksepeti was bought by Germany’s Delivery Hero in May, chief executive and co-founder Nevzat Aydin carved up the $27 million he made from the sale between his 114 employees. The average bonus of $237,000 is nearly 150 times the average current monthly wage at the company. In an interview with [CNNMoney](http://money.cnn.com/2015/07/28/news/companies/turkish-ceo-staff-bonus-millions/index.html "undefined"), a spokesman for Delivery Hero said the size of the individually-determined bonuses was influenced by their impact on Yemeksepeti’s success, the number of years they worked for the company, and their potential for the future. “The success of companies like Delivery Hero and Yemeksepeti is based on amazing company cultures where tremendous people always walk the extra mile,” he said. \[[_CNNMoney_\]](http://money.cnn.com/2015/07/28/news/companies/turkish-ceo-staff-bonus-millions/index.html "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3975539/turkey-boss-million-share-yemeksepeti/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3975539/turkey-boss-million-share-yemeksepeti/"},"headline":"Boss of Turkish Firm Shares $27 Million With Employees","datePublished":"2015-07-28T20:57:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:40:18.511Z","description":"Meet the world's best boss","url":"https://time.com/3975539/turkey-boss-million-share-yemeksepeti/","keywords":["Companies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2130167227bb98c1/69885ce5196cf4c9150374e7/nevzat-aydin.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Priyanka Aribindi","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/priyanka-aribindi/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2130167227bb98c1/69885ce5196cf4c9150374e7/nevzat-aydin.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Nevzat Aydin","caption":"Nevzat Aydin","creditText":"Johannes Simon—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/companies/","name":"Companies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3975539/turkey-boss-million-share-yemeksepeti/","name":"Boss of Turkish Firm Shares $27 Million With Employees"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Next Gen Leaders: Engin Onder, Turkey","description":"Next Gen Leaders: Engin Onder, Turkey","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/oZzEglEF/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-05-28T23:20:59.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/oZzEglEF.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3975539/turkey-boss-million-share-yemeksepeti/","duration":"PT2M45S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3975539/turkey-boss-million-share-yemeksepeti/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
