Sepp Blatter has traditionally kept his salary a tightly-guarded secret, but admitted the seven figure payment for 2006 during an interview with Swiss newspaper Sonntags Zeitung.
Blatter said: “That is appropriate for an executive president. FIFA has a great value, not only in financial terms.”
He also admitted of a growing concern over the financial gulf which has opened up between clubs.
He told the paper: “A gulf is opening up. The rich are getting even richer.”
