Starz CEO Chris Albrecht‘s compensation rose to $30.4 million in 2013, up from $12.9 million a year prior, the company said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday.
The CEO’s 136 percent rise in compensation was due primarily to a surge in option awards, which amounted to $28 million in 2013 compared with $11 million the year before.
