In 2023, Iger made $31.6 million, and when it was announced, the news was met with backlash amid the actors’ and writers’ strikes. The $41.1 million total is a weighted performance-based total made up of pay, bonuses, stock awards options, and other compensation.

According to Deadline, roughly “$18.3 million of his pay came in the form of stock awards, $12 million was option awards, $7.2 million in non-equity incentive plan compensation and $2.1 million classified as ‘other.’” While it is true that this is a 30% increase from last year, Iger’s total compensation is still lower than it has been in previous years. Iger made $45.9 million in 2021.

We are eager to see how this number shifts in 2025 and 2026, as Disney currently focuses on Iger’s succession plan. Iger’s contract is currently slated to expire on December 31st, 2026. As far as who the new CEO will be, we aren’t quite sure yet (and neither is the company).

The company has previously stated that the new CEO will be chosen by early 2026. While we can’t know for sure, four names have been floating around for some time, including Dana Walden (TV), Josh D’Amaro (Experiences), Alan Bergman (Movies), and Jimmy Pitaro (ESPN).

Iger has previously delayed his retirement several times, but for now, we can expect 2026 to be his final year at the head of the table. Next month, on February 5th, Disney’s Fiscal Year 2025 Quarter 1 Earnings Call will take place. During this event, we can expect to hear from Bob Iger and other Disney executives as they detail what the financial earnings and losses look like from the first quarter of the 2025 fiscal year.
