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

[ProfessorGAC]

17. I Get That

I've been to Anaheim MANY times. Had relatives, when a kid, who lived in Santa Ana. We have a site in Anaheim that i've worked at at least 35 times. I really do understand it's expensive to live there.

My point was certainly not that the people who work at the park couldn't use better pay. Clearly, they could. That's not in question.

I'm just point out that while the situation in Anaheim is a financial problem, for those workers, comparing CEO pay to those folks which is a tiny fraction of the overall company is a little specious.

As i said, you'd still never convince me that being CEO of Disney is worth more than $160 million. That's preposterous.

What i'd like to see is there breakdown for other parts of their organization, the pay in Orlando (while not cheap, it isn't SoCal) and then places like New York, Bristol, etc. I'd bet they treat park workers differently than they do a lot of their other segments. (Another problem.)

Either way, i'm sure everybody here believes that Iger is WAY(!!!!!) overpaid. And at Disney, that's been true since Eisner.
