David M. Zaslav, the president and chief executive officer of media company Discovery, Inc., came in at No. 1 with compensation of $129.4 million, according to the Wall Street Journal‘s analysis of data from MyLogIQ. The total is a combination of cash pay, stock pay and other sources.
Zaslav’s pay is “nearly all performance-based,” the company said.
In March 2018, he oversaw Discovery’s acquisition of another media company — Scripps Networks Interactive, whose channel properties include the Food Network and HGTV. In June 2018, Discovery said it formed a 12-year partnership with the PGA Tour, which “includes global multiplatform live rights outside the United States to all PGA TOUR media properties totaling approximately 2,000 hours of content per year.”
