Don Lemon was handsomely compensated after being fired from CNN last year — in fact, it’s almost as if he never left … ’cause the dude’s definitely getting paid like it, per a new report.

According to the Wrap, the former CNN anchor finally reached a deal with his former bosses at the cable news network to finalize his separation from the company — this after he was canned almost a full year ago.

Apparently, they’d been working out the details of his exit package — and now, word is they finally landed on a number … which is astronomical. The Wrap says he got $24.5 million.

What’s astonishing about that figure is that, per the outlet, this amount of cash is exactly what he would’ve been paid if he’d been allowed to stay there and finish out his contract — which they say had another 3.5 half years left on it before his ousting in April.

In other words, he got his full contract’s worth of money … so good on his negotiating team.

Weirdly enough, though, CNN is actually pushing back on the number … telling People the report of his massive payout is “incorrect.” With that said, they didn’t elaborate beyond that.

In any case … it sounds like Don’s walking away from this saga a happy camper. Yes, he’s no longer on TV — but he’s moved on over to X for a new show, similar to Tucker Carlson.

While he was fuming after getting the boot at CNN, Don ended up with the last laugh … the guy who fired him, Chris Licht, ended up being shown the door as well not long after. Meanwhile, Don’s millions of dollars richer … and he’s in the free speech space now.
