In 2022, McKinsey was paid $55M to advise Warner Brothers to combine with Discovery.

From 2022-2025, McKinsey charged Warner Brothers Discovery $37M by advising the company to change HBO to HBO Max, then to Max, then back to HBO Max.

In 2025, McKinsey billed Warner Brothers Discovery an additional $63M to determine that Warner Brothers and Discovery should be separate brands again.
