- Mindy Grossman
HSN CEO Mindy Grossman saw her compensation cut in half in 2009, but don’t feel too sorry for her.
She made $4.1 million last year, which we could manage to live on, compared with $8 million the prior year, according to the home shopping network’s proxy statement.
Executive compensation is on page 35.
Last year go-getter Grossman’s base salary was the same as in 2008, a cool $1 million. And she got a tidy bonus in 2009, $1.9 million, almost four times her $500,000 bonus in 2008.
But Grossman didn’t get any stock awards last year, and she got 1.3 million in stock awards in 2008.
She also tallied 1 million stock appreciation rights and option awards last year, only a fifth of the 5 million she received in 2008.
Nike vet Grossman also received $96,500 in other compensation, including $86,000 for housing and $7,400 for a car.
Judy Schmeling
HSN chief financial officer and executive vice president Judy Schmeling did better than Grossman, in that her compensation in 2009 was about even with 2008. She got $1,049,993, just a hair less than her $1,101,111 in 2008.
Schmeling’s salary was $500,000 last year, versus $420,000 in 2008. Her 2009 bonus was almost triple her bonus in 2008, $444,500 versus $150,000. Then there was various stock rights.
Barbara Lynne Ronon, HSN’s executive vice president of merchandising, saw her compensation increase in 2009, to $996,149 from $783,551. Ronon’s base pay was $475,000 in 2009 and 2008.
But her bonus in 2009 was $410,400, a huge increase from $90,000 in 2008.

I’m happy that she’s successful, but honestly if I could have at least half of Mrs. Grossman’s salary maybe I could afford a better box to live in. And maybe, I could move my box from under the interstate to hmmm..let’s say..maybe on a side walk somewhere ( you know they charge sidewalk rent these days) I applaud her HARD work at being a CEO and then at the same time I look down upon her….Sheesh

How does she sleep at night? In 2009 HSN took away employee pay raises and bonuses for those on the main floor. They knocked the training wage down from $10/hr. to min. wage that year due to the “economy.” Yet Mindy earned nearly $2 mil. in bonuses that same year–FOUR TIMES what she made in 2008. Unethical.
