Paramount Skydance chairman and CEO David Ellison, who is in the midst of trying close a massive deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, had a pay package worth $63.2 million last year.
Jeff Shell, who resigned as Paramount’s president earlier this month to “focus” on a defamation lawsuit filed against him, had a total compensation package worth $60.68 million. The company disclosed the executive compensation in an SEC filing Friday.
In addition, chief legal officer Makan Delrahim, who joined the company in September, had 2025 compensation worth $63.58 million, per the filing. Delrahim had advised Skydance on its takeover of Paramount Global. He was formerly an assistant attorney general overseeing the U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division during President Trump’s first term.
