Disneyland's CEO Makes As Much As His Entire Park's Combined Payroll

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Don't Get Me Wrong. . .

. . .$162.5 million a year is obscene, but Iger is the CEO of the entire Disney corporation, not just the them park(s).

While the rest of the situation in Anaheim is pretty pathetic, i would need to see how the overall pay scale across all Disney properties look to make an overall comparison. What do the electricians and mechanics at Disneyland make?

Now if i found that the average person working in Bristol at ESPN was making under $20, or ABC, or the movie companies, then i'd find it to be fairer comparison and even more reason to be outraged.

Of course, i'd still end up thinking nobody is worth >$160 million a year (or half of that, or maybe not even 30%) but this article does seem to comparing apples to oranges, or perhaps apples to pears.

Again, you'd never get me to accept that anything Iger does is worth that kind of money. I mean, how hard it to take over as CEO of Disney. It's not like they're a recent start up or were a struggling corporation for a couple decades.

This article just seems a tad hyperbolic.
