It is believed to be one of the biggest compensation orders relating to a company collapse in Australian history with legal experts calling the size of the compensation "extraordinary".
The directors of the former MFS Investment Management business and the officers of its operating entity MFS Ltd have also been banned from being company directors for varying lengths of time, and received financial penalties.
The payments ordered by the courts will be directed to the thousands of retirees who put their life savings into MFS investment vehicle the Premium Income Fund.
The MFS Group collapsed in 2008 owing $2.5 billion. Ahead of its collapse it was an investment powerhouse that counted former Liberal Party leader Andrew Peacock, who was not a party to the court case.
The Premium Income Fund, or PIF as it was commonly known, was frozen to redemptions from investors in 2009. At the time, it held $770 million in people's life savings.
The bannings, fines and ordered payments came after a long-running court case brought by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
On Friday, the Supreme Court of Queensland ordered…Former MFS chief financial officer David Mark Anderson be disqualified from managing corporations for 25 years, pay a pecuniary penalty of $500,000, pay $205,755,601 compensation to PIF and 80 per cent of ASIC's costs;
