Disney CEO Bob Iger Earned $41.1M in 2024, 30% More Than the previous year ($31.6M)

Disney has chosen not to announce Bob Iger‘s successor as CEO before 2026, giving them time to decide their future strategy. During this period, Iger will still enjoy financial advantages stemming from his current position.

In the year 2024, Iger’s remuneration amounted to approximately $41.1 million, predominantly from stock and option grants. His fixed salary was a million dollars. The year before, his overall compensation was $31.6 million, once more primarily derived from stocks and options.

Robert Iger’s tenure with Disney extends until 2026, and it has been announced that they will likely reveal his successor by the start of 2026. In his inaugural letter to shareholders as chairman, James Gorman underscored the board’s dedication to identifying an ideal candidate for leadership.

Gorman noted that we’re working towards an orderly change in leadership that will help Disney continue thriving. He mentioned that significant advancements have been made in this regard during the past year.

Apart from Iger’s salary, Disney also revealed the income of other key managers. Specifically, Chief Financial Officer Hugh Johnston made approximately $24.5 million in 2024, while Chief Legal and Compliance Officer Horacio Guttierez earned around $15.8 million. A significant portion of their pay is linked to stocks and options, so the actual amount they receive could change depending on Disney’s stock market value.
