Disney CEO Bob Iger’s annual compensation rose to $41.1M in 2024, a 30% increase from the $31.6M he received in 2023, according to Connor Hart of the WALL STREET JOURNAL. Iger received $18.3M in stock awards, $12M in option awards, $7.2M in bonuses and $2.1M in “other forms of compensation,” while his base salary for the year was $1M. Disney said that Iger’s “performance highlights in 2024 included leading the global box office with the year’s two highest-grossing films” and “spearheading the company’s plan” to invest $60B into its theme parks, cruises and resorts over the next decade (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 1/23). In L.A., Samantha Masunaga wrote Iger’s pay increase “comes as the company continues to vet potential successors.” Iger’s contract ends in December 2026, but the Disney BOD has said that it will “name the next CEO by early 2026 to allow for a successful transition” (L.A. TIMES, 1/23).
