Robert Iger, CEO of Walt Disney, was richly rewarded for the record profits that put down the company last year. His reward for the fiscal year that ended late September came in at $ 46.5 million (40 million euros). That’s 35 percent more fat than a year earlier, according to data that Disney handed in to the authorities.
The 63-year-old Iger was already one of the highest paid US CEOs. The man is standing since 2005 at the helm of the world’s largest entertainment group and his contract was renewed in October.
Igers salary last year was, incidentally, just like a year before, $ 2.5 million . But he also received a bonus of 22.8 million, plus 17.3 million shares and 3.9 million other things.
Under the leadership of Iger Disney saw profits last year by more than a fifth increase to 7.5 billion dollars. The success was mainly due to the very popular animated film “Frozen”. Revenue grew thereby by 8 percent to $ 48.8 billion. That is a record.
