Iger Earned $31.6-M As Disney's CEO Last Year

Disney CEO Bob Iger earned $31.6 million in compensation last year — a multimillion-dollar boost from his income the year before, Samantha Delouya reported for CNN.

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.

Despite Iger’s multimillion-dollar paycheck, Disney has faced growing challenges in the past year, including a string of box office flops, declining linear TV viewership, and an uneven transition into a streaming future.

In November, Disney said it would slash its expenses by another $2 billion, adding to the $5.5 billion reduction it had previously announced as it looks to rebuild its business in a rapidly changing media environment.
