Paramount Global Ex-CEO Bob Bakish Walks Away With Almost $87M; George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy And Brian Robbins Each Net Between $19.5M And $22.2M In 2024


Paramount Global Co-CEOs George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins made about $20 million each in 2024, while ex-CEO Bob Bakish got nearly $87 million.

The compensation figures come as talks are continuing between Paramount Global and the Federal Communications Commission, which is reviewing the Skydance transaction. Reversing the push toward DEI has been a major priority of President Donald Trump and appointees like FCC Chair Brendan Carr. Trump has also filed a $20 billion lawsuit in Texas against Paramount, citing CBS News and 60 Minutes, but Carr has maintained that the FCC review is separate from that case.
