NEW YORK (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group's (GS.N) board of directors awarded a $67.9 million bonus to Chairman and Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein for 2007, according to a filing with regulators.

The bonus comes after a fiscal year of record profits, even as rivals sustained large write-downs from the widening subprime crisis.

Blankfein received $41.1 million of restricted shares and options, as well as cash of $26.8 million, the filing said.
