David Zaslav, president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, has now sold over $195 million worth of stock since the media company clinched a deal to be acquired by David Ellison’s Paramount Skydance earlier this year.

Zaslav’s latest sale of 773,173 shares of WBD stock, for an aggregate market value of $21,655,292, was handled on his behalf by Fidelity Brokerage Services, according to a company filing with the SEC Thursday. That came after the exec sold $59.47 million of stock in July and $114 million March.
