Zaslav's Billion-Dollar Wager: Netflix vs Paramount

David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Brothers, stands to gain a potential fortune as Netflix and Paramount engage in a bidding war over the studio. With stock options worth over four hundred million dollars, a deal could catapult his net worth to over one billion dollars, placing him among the ranks of non-founder CEOs like Tim Cook and Satya Nadella. Zaslavs career, from corporate law to media, has been marked by an unyielding work ethic, a trait he attributes to his tennis-playing past. As the bidding war unfolds, all eyes are on Zaslav, who continues to wake up at 4:45 AM for his daily walk to the office, a testament to his belief in the power of consistent hard work.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
