Marchionne's leadership has been credited with helping to revitalize Chrysler following the company's near-collapse in the wake of the financial crisis in 2009. Chrysler's U.S. sales rose 24.3 percent in 2011, outpacing the auto industry's 10.3 percent growth.
Chrysler also paid for insurance, security and cleaning fees at Marchionne's condominium in Michigan, according to an annual regulatory filing. Chrysler stated that the money was equal to what it would have spent for Marchionne to stay at hotels instead.
