Deborah Barak, one of the most prominent, influential, and beloved TV business executives of the past three decades, died today, Jan. 21, after a long battle with cancer. She was 65.

Barak’s passing comes just two years after she left CBS at the end of 2020. During her 35 years at the company, rising to President of Business Operations, she created deal templates and introduced business models that have since become industry standards.

A skilled negotiator who her peers highly respected, Barak is also known to all as Debby.

Debby led the network’s and studio’s highest-profile negotiations. She brokered a slew of mega talent and showed deals while always keeping her cool under pressure in the most chaotic situations.

What was Deborah Barak’s net worth at the time of death?

She was on the board of Jewish Family Services, including a stint as Chair, and Adat Ari El school; she was active with Unistream and the Israel Policy Forum, among others. Barak also was open to pursuing other opportunities, including serving on boards, and was planning to spend time with her grandchildren.

The pandemic disrupted her final year at CBS, and then the illness thwarted her many plans for the future.

From her position and her schedule, she is a wealthy woman but as of now data available cannot put a finger on her exact net worth
