 List of the gaming industry's highest-paid CEOs

Activision Blizzard CEO Boby Kotick took second place

In recent years, the game industry, which has been ahead of the fields such as cinema, series and television, besides the entertainment sector, is gradually increasing the difference. When the annual financial revenues are compared, the gaming industry, which outperforms its competitors, has further increased its power in terms of the audience it has reached. The list of 42 highest paid CEOs based on the 2020 financial calendar by Games One has been announced. It is stated that the 27 CEOs on the list have an annual income of more than 1 million dollars.

The figures disclosed indicate not only the salary of CEOs, but also the total money earned in a year. The annual fee, which is decided by the board of directors and approved by the vote of the shareholders, also includes variables such as bonuses, bonuses and stock.

Highest paid CEOs

  1. Robert Antokol — Playtika — $372 million
  2. Boby Kotick — Activision Blizzard — $154.6 million
  3. Andrew Paradise — Skillz — $103.3 million
  4. Andrew Wilson — Electronic Arts — $34.7 million
  5. Frank Gibeau — Zynga — $32 million
  6. John Riccitiello — Unity — $22 million
  7. Straus Zelnick — Take Two — $18.1 million
  8. Taek-Jin Kim — NCsoft — $15.6 million
  9. Min Liang Tan — Razer — $10.4 million
  10. Debbie Bestwick — Team17 — 10.2 million
Robert Antokol, CEO of Israel-based mobile game company Playtika, tops the list of top paid CEOs. Right behind him is Boby Kotick, the head of Activision Blizzard, which has been on the agenda with sexual harassment and mobbing practices in recent months.

The reason why Playstation and Xbox brands are not on the list is that both companies are managed by Sony and Microsoft CEOs. Among the notable names further down the list are Square Enix's Yosuke Matsuda, SEGA's Hajimi Satomi, and Nintendo's Shuntaro Furukawa.

 How will the new taxation system for products brought from abroad, which came into force on May 1, affect the players? We receive many questions about the new taxation system for products brought from abroad, which came into force at the beginning of last week. Although mostly games are now purchased digitally, we game lovers can buy not only games, but also many different products such as game devices, accessories and figures. However, we often use this system to bring a product that is not available in our country. Sometimes because of the price advantage. "What was the need for such an arrangement?"
