It’s just out in the Walt Disney Co’s 2008 proxy statement. The CEO who signed a new five-year contract last February received $13.95 million in salary and bonus. Actually the figure is $30.6 million with all the bells and whistles, up 11% from 2007. And what’s up with that $645,368 for security? All in all, Bob Iger didn’t do too badly in a year when Disney stock fell 14%. Once again, the moguls do well while the shareholders get screwed.

Working for Disney under Eisner…I’d rather eat worms in the gutter. Working for Disney under Iger…I make a decent salary and I’m given what I need to do my job. If Disney makes money and doesn’t tank “as much” as the rest of wall street, then this is good for me…I STAY EMPLOYED, and if Iger is making this happen…THEN A BIG THANK YOU! All you people who work in the industry and wish lack of success for the studios, please move on.
Stil….with rumors of massive layoffs at Disney/ABC once again rampant last week, Bob and Anne and a bunch of the rest of them should give 50% back…..
