After his 2024 salary was revealed to be a whopping $51.9 million, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav will be seeing a major pay cut with reduced income from several venues.

The chief executive of CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, David Zaslav, is expected to get hit with a major pay cut, three years into a disastrous merger of Warner Brothers and Discovery, which was accompanied by a disastrous drop in ratings and revenue for CNN, once considered the crown jewel of the now vanished Time Warner company..

David Zaslav’s compensation will drop after WBD’s split, but he could still earn tens of millions from a lucrative stock award plan.
