It seems like Disney CEO Bob Iger took Beyoncé a little too seriously when she sang “always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper.” Despite getting on the billionaire boys club’s bad side over the past year, Iger’s bank account still had a pretty impressive 2024 with his total pay package rising to $41.1 million in fiscal 2024—up 30% from his $31.6 million the year prior. Iger’s pay day was disclosed Thursday in the Walt Disney Company’s annual proxy report, according to Deadline, which adds that the company is also set to begin its process in finding Iger’s successor ahead of his contract expiration in 2026. Meanwhile, the Mickey Mouse millionaire club of 2024 also included Disney CFO Hugh Johnston who made $24.5 million last year and Senior EVP and Chief Legal and Compliance Officer Horacio Gutierrez who made $15.8 million. Iger’s contract with the company is set to expire on December 31, 2026.
