Bob Iger made $31.6 million as Disney’s CEO last year
Disney CEO Bob Iger raked in $31.6 million in compensation last year – a multi-million-dollar boost from his income the year before.
Iger’s 2023 pay package included a base salary of $865,385, stock awards totaling $16.1 million, $10 million in stock option awards, $2.1 million in performance-based compensation and $2.48 million in other compensation, according to The Walt Disney Company’s annual proxy statement, which was filed Tuesday.
Iger received a hefty pay bump in 2023, his first full year back at the helm of Disney after coming out of retirement. In 2022, Iger brought in $15 million in total compensation, according to the filing.
Although Chapek left the entertainment company in 2022, he still made $9.9 million in total pay from Disney last year, according to the filing.
