Warner Bros. Discovery president and CEO David Zaslav's pay package rose just over 4% to $51.9 million in 2024, according to the company's 2025 proxy statement filed Friday.

Zaslav had a 2023 pay package worth $49.7 million, up 26.5% from the year prior. Zaslav's compensation totaled $39.3 million in 2022, after he received an astonishing $246.6 million (which included $203 million in stock-option grants) in 2021.

For 2024, Zaslav's base salary was $3 million. He received stock awards worth $23.1 million, bonus compensation of $23.9 million and "all other" compensation of $1.9 million.

Cash bonuses and stock awards for Zaslav and WBD's other named executive officers are tied to free cash flow targets.

Zaslav surely is one of the worst CEOs in current mass media companies. Guy has an instinct for making all the wrong decisions.
