Viacom senior executive vice president and chief financial officer Richard Bressler received a $5.5 million bonus last year.
This was certainly no surprise to the executive or to other followers of the media giant. Bressler, who joined the company in March 2001 and became CFO two months later, has received the same bonus for three straight years now. In his first year, he was awarded a bonus of “only” $5 million — but he wasn’t at Viacom for the entire 12 months.
Bressler was also paid a salary of more than $1.1 million last year, bringing his full pay package to nearly $6.7 million.
