Bob Iger has been well compensated during his 14 years as Disney CEO; last year, he made $65.6 million. That’s likely more than Abigail Disney. During Iger’s first full year as CEO, he made $22 million, not including $2.9 million worth of stock options. Thus to Disney, Iger’s sky-high salary is well deserved, a reflection of his value and the company’s strong financial performance. Some have also pushed for raising the estate tax or higher taxes for the uber-wealthy—something for which billionaire Bill Gates and, yes, Abigail Disney, have expressed support.
