WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.(AP) U.S. Tennis Association tax forms show that former CEO of professional tennis Arlen Kantarian received more than $9 million in total compensation in 2008, his last year running the U.S. Open.
According to documents obtained Monday by The Associated Press, Kantarian was paid about $1.6 million in base compensation, about $2.3 million in bonus and incentive compensation and nearly $5.2 million in other reportable compensation.
That last category includes cumulative incentive payments earned during his last three-year contract with the USTA, which hired him in 2000. The total compensation for 2008 is listed as $9.15 million.
Kantarian resigned in October 2008, effective at year's end. He now works for Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.
