JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon got a $1 million raise last year.

Dimon, who was already the best paid Wall Street CEO in the prior year, received $28 million in total compensation for 2016. The bank disclosed in a filing Thursday that his base pay stayed unchanged at $1.5 million, but his bonus increased.

JPMorgan shareholders likely won't have a problem with the raise, given the bank posted a record profit for the year of $24.7 billion, and the stock soared.

Last year, 92% of JPMorgan Chase shareholders voted in favor of the bank's executive compensation package at its annual meeting.

A year earlier, he faced something of a shareholder revolt, when 38% of them voted against Dimon's pay package. Also, 36% voted in favor of splitting Dimon's two positions as chairman and CEO of the company -- in effect asking for an independent chairman to lead the board of directors.
