Endeavor heads and UFC owners Emanuel, Whitesell had $308M and $123M pay packages for 2021

The highest paid Hollywood executive in 2020 reportedly received a package of over $50 million. In 2021, Endeavor executives blew that number out of the window, with SEC filings showing that Ari Emanuel had a pay package of $308,177,233.

That $308M value could still change though, as the bulk of Emanuel’s massive pay will come in stock that was awarded to him as part of Endeavor’s 2021 IPO. Endeavor noted that Emanuel’s recognized compensation for the year is $67.5 million, with the rest of his payout being in stock that’s tied to the company’s value and performance.
