WWE/TKO

A new report has revealed the pay for WWE’s parent company TKO top executives, Ari Emanuel and Mark Shapiro.

In April 2023, Endeavor announced that they were merging WWE and UFC into one sports and entertainment company known as TKO Group Holdings.

The company officially started in September 2023 has since made changes, such as the departure of Vince McMahon and the addition of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to the Board of Directors.

On April 24, Deadline reported that TKO Group Holdings CEO Ari Emanuel received a $65 million pay package upon the finalization of the deal for the company last September.

Emanuel’s deal featured $911,000 base salary, a cash bonus of $24 million, and stock awards valued at $40 million.

Meanwhile, TKO Chief Operating Officer Mark Shapiro received a pay package of $16 million last year, according to a statement from TKO’s proxy.

The Rock received nearly 100,000 TKO stock shares after his WrestleMania 40 bout, which you can read at this link.
