It’s the most busted salary in news.
CNN is reportedly paying anchor Anderson Cooper $18 million a year — an eye-popping sum that could be in the crosshairs when the ratings-challenged network is spun off by its debt-ridden parent company.
Cooper, the face of the network and host of its primetime show at 8 p.m., has an uncertain future following Monday’s stunning announcement by Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav about the looming split, according to the Puck newsletter.
Zaslav tapped WBD Chief Financial Officer Gunnar Wiedenfels to start looking for ways to cut costs when he takes over CNN and other cable assets as part of a new company called Global Networks.
“Gunnar news is not good,” one source told The Post on Thursday. “He is slash and burn.”
Puck media writer Dylan Byers singled out Cooper as a possible target.
“Why, for instance, would Gunnar pay Anderson Cooper $18 million a year when Kaitlan Collins draws the same ratings at roughly a fifth of the salary?” Byers wrote.
According to the latest Nielsen ratings, “Anderson Cooper 360” drew 647,000 total viewers on Tuesday — or about $27 per viewer.

A sodomite is worth that much?
The poor man destitute before landing the CNN job.
I have to say I’ve seen his New Years show and it’s not exactly on par with Guy Lombardo.
I really don’t get it.

That poor, poor descendant of Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Without those connections, he would have been a fabulous hairdresser in Sarasota.
Nice gig!
In my opinion, CNN was much better as a start-up in the 80s when it was operating on a shoe string with no-name anchors out of Atlanta.
He’s going to live his best life now. Then pay for it later.
His “best life” is a deception, knows not the real true life in Christ. “

Freddie, your soul is in the Lord’s hands, as is all of us.
I spoke at reasonable length with 90s CNN Headline News anchor Lynn Russell at a Veterans Day event in 2000 IIRC (might have been 2001).
I think it fair to say she is horrified at what CNN has become.
"In The Pooper" Cooper makes 5 times what Dylan Mulvaney makes at XiNN?
The Unibrow makes 3.6 million?
They must keep the gay audience. Anderson is the fan favorite. They love it when he giggles.
It’s all unfair!! Poor Anderson will be ejected into poverty.
Ain’t nepotism wonderful.
