Mel Karmazin earned $11 million in 2012, his last year as CEO of Sirius XM Radio, up from $10.7 million the previous year.
Karmazin, who relinquished his role in December as Liberty Media was taking control of it through stock purchases, earned the bulk of his compensation via a $9.5 million cash bonus that was based in part on increases in subscribers, up 2 million in 2012 to 23.9 million, and a 71 percent increase in free cash flow to $709 million.
