Netflix-Paramount bidding wars are pushing Warner Bros CEO David Zaslav toward billionaire status-he has one rule for success: 'Never be outworked' | Fortune

The 65-year-old executive has long been one of the media's highest-paid leaders, taking home a compensation package of $51.9 million in 2024 alone-even as the company weathered layoffs and strategy turmoil. And earlier this year, Zaslav signed a new contract packed with more stock options that could exceed $420 million in value, with the ultimate payout influenced by whether Netflix's $27.75-per-share cash-and-stock bid or Paramount's hostile $30-per-share cash offer wins out.
