Bonnie Hammer

Last year Hammer grew profits and revenue for an unprecedented 14th consecutive year, raking in nearly $3 billion and $6 billion, respectively, despite increased competition. Her networks, which include USA, Bravo, and E!, average some 100 million viewers a week, helping make her portfolio the largest profit generator within NBCUniversal. The long-serving cable chief also negotiated key deals, including tying down the valuable World Wide Wrestling Raw series on USA through 2024.
