David Zaslav at the "Alto Knights" premiere (Credit: Cindy Ord/WireImage) Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav saw his pay package triple in 2025 to $165 million, tied in part to stock options that were awarded to the executive for his initial plan to split the company into two entities. Indeed, $110 million of the package came from those stock options that were awarded last June after Zaslav's decision to split WBD into Warner Bros. and Discovery Global, according to a company SEC filing from Thursday. The rest of Zaslav's 2025 pay package came from his $3 million base salary, $22.6 million in stock and a $25.7 million cash bonus. That total package puts him at the top of the entertainment CEO heap, well ahead of Disney's Bob Iger ($45.8 million), Paramount's David Ellison ($63.2 million) and Comcast's Brian Roberts ($35.1 million). News of Zaslav's pay also comes as he's faced considerable pushback for his golden parachute worth a staggering $887 million tied to Warner B
