Comcast gave Brian Roberts a pay raise last year — but not nearly as much as his recently promoted co-CEO, Mike Cavanagh.
Roberts, chairman and co-CEO of the media and cable conglomerate, had compensation worth $35.15 million in 2025, up 4% from the year prior, according to a Comcast SEC filing Friday. Cavanagh, who was elevated to the co-CEO role at Comcast effective Jan. 2, 2026, had a pay package worth $71.76 million — about two and half times his compensation of $28.26 million the previous year.
Roberts has been Comcast’s chairman since 2004 and had been CEO since 2002 before the company created the co-CEO structure. His 2025 compensation included base salary of $2,600,962; stock awards worth $23.5 million; a cash bonus of $8.58 million; $290,466 in personal security services; and personal use of company aircraft worth $190,734.
Cavanagh joined Comcast in 2015 as CFO before being elevated to president in October 2022.
Roberts continues to own 33.3% of the combined voting power of the two classes of Comcast’s voting common stock.
