More than 80 members of staff at the BBC earn at least £150,000 a year, according to the Sunday Times.
The paper reports that 13 executives earning £150,000-plus enjoyed pay rises of 10 per cent over the last year.
An official BBC register documenting staff members revealed that more than 100 employees earn over £100,000 a year.
Some 87 members of staff at the BBC are paid more than the Prime Minister's £142,500 annual salary, according to the register.
A spokesman for the BBC told the Sunday Times: "The website referenced still contains profiles of a number of individuals who have left the organisation and simply counting them doesn't deliver up to date numbers – the latest figures show senior manager numbers have reduced under Tony Hall by more than 25 people, reducing the pay bill by more than £2m.
"It is also factually inaccurate to suggest 100k senior management earners are up under Tony Hall – they are also down (by 2 per cent)."
