In an interview with the New York Times about his memoir Born to be Wired, Malone, Zaslav’s longtime mentor, told the publication that he recently advised the WBD boss on a new contract that would maximize his potential for generating long-term wealth but also dampen down public criticism that surrounded previous pay deals by keeping the headline figure of the package “skinny.” In April, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Zaslav received a 2024 compensation…
