Although Iger is set to receive significant compensation, it represents a pay cut compared to previous years. In 2021, he earned a total compensation of $45.9 million, up from $21 million in 2020. His base salary was $3 million, and he received a cash bonus of $22.9 million. Chapek’s total compensation for 2021 reached $32.5 million, double the $14.2 million from the previous year, with a base salary of $2.5 million.
Chapek, who initially assumed the CEO position after successfully overseeing the company’s parks and resorts division, faced challenges, including disputes with Scarlett Johansson over compensation for “Black Widow” and controversy over his response to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. These issues led to a near staff revolt.
