The CEO of EpiPen company Mylan not only quadrupled the price of the life-saving allergy tool – she also started taking home 671 per cent more money, it has emerged.

Mylan is currently facing Congress scrutiny after its EpiPens increased in price from $56.64 per pen in 2007 to $317.82 in 2015 – an increase of 461 per cent.
