Guardrails for the Giants: CEO Security Costs Hit New Highs Amid Rising Threats
The Hollywood Reporter reports that security spending for top executives in entertainment, media, and tech is surging as threats to high-profile leaders rise. Major companies such as Disney and Netflix spent about $1.8 million last year, Amazon around $1.7 million, and Warner Bros. Discovery roughly $3.2 million, with costs climbing due to inflation, busy travel schedules, and threats from diverse sources. Experts say executive protection is now a core part of business resilience, covering guards, residences, transport, and threat monitoring, and costs are expected to keep rising as risk landscapes grow more complex.
