Leslie Moonves, 65, president and CEO, CBS Corp., $66,932,581 As the Hollywood Reporter noted, under Mr. Moonves, CBS has been the most-watched network for 11 of the past 12 seasons. But has the master lost the golden touch? A scan of the ratings, via tvseriesfinale.com, shows that most of the network’s scripted programming has lost viewership. Then again, the Nielsens may not matter as much to advertisers, because so many people watch their shows on digital platforms that entertainment industry types argue the numbers are not adequately counted. 9. James E. Meyer, 59, CEO, Sirius XM Holdings, $23,065,307 As the guy who runs a company that puts Howard Stern, Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Laura, Eminem and B.B. King under the same corporate roof, the low-profile Mr. Meyer has helped make SiriusXM the world’s largest radio broadcaster measured by revenue, taking in more than $4 billion. But there’s a serious threat out there for the satellite radio company. Former members of rock band the Turtles sued Sirius, claiming the broadcaster committed “copyright infringement and engaged in unfair competition by publicly performing sound recordings owned by … the original members of the Turtles.” Last month, a federal judge in New York allowed the suit to go forward. Clearly, the parties are not Happy Together.
Funny that Howard can buy and sell Leslie yet the weaved fraud was downplaying his immense amazing wealth while mocking the Moonves's extravagant home movie theater.
Plugtard McDick doesn't have time for a home theater... too many 'therapy' appointments and a dumbass dolt of a 'wife' to try and wrangle away from cheating on him. And... those fucking cats won't feed themselves.
The list should give him jerkoff material for the long weekend, knowing he grossed more than every CEO in America will have him shooting ropes.
most of them deserve every penny. but theres always the ones who not only were paid 10s of millions while they ran good companies into the ground, but after they failed they got a soft golden parachute landing. thats what irks people.
Even though Howard is clearly limping into the home stretch, I think talent SHOULD make more than a CEO. I've dealt with enough in the film business to know they are, for the most part, worth nowhere near what they're paid.
