Former president Jeff Shell, who left the company in April to focus on a breach‑of‑contract lawsuit, received $60.68 million, consisting of comparable salary and bonus figures, the same amount of sign‑on stock (with accelerated vesting under his separation agreement), plus cash equal to his $3.5 million base salary and a $1.5 million target bonus for the year after his departure. Other high‑paid executives disclosed in the SEC filing included chief legal officer Makan Delrahim ($63.58 million), chief strategy officer and COO Andy Gordon ($48.5 million), and Delrahim’s compensation of $844,828 salary, $336,144 bonus and $57.39 million in stock grants. The bulk of each executive’s pay was tied to long‑term equity awards intended to align their interests with Paramount’s ongoing negotiations to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.
