Disney CEO Bob Iger's 2019 Self-Evaluation Revealed Amid Gender-Equity Pay Lawsuit
Despite Glowing Self-Evaluation, Disney Faces Multiple Lawsuits and Criticism
- Bob Iger's 2019 self-evaluation, submitted to a Disney committee for bonus approval, has been revealed amid a gender-equity pay class action lawsuit against Disney.
- In his self-evaluation, Iger took credit for the launch of Disney+, the acquisition of 20th Century Fox, gaining control of Hulu, and a $10 billion box office revenue.
- Despite Iger's glowing self-evaluation, Disney is currently facing multiple lawsuits, a dwindling attendance at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, and critical reviews of new Disney, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and Pixar have rarely been worse.
- The class action lawsuit, which represents over 9,000 female Disney employees, claims that Disney systemically pays female employees less than their male counterparts.
- Despite the current issues, Iger's bonus request was granted, and he received a total compensation package for the year in the amount of $47.5 million, making him one of the highest-paid executives in America.
