So, that works out to be around $19 million. Of course there's stock options potentially worth tons more than that, but let's keep it simple.On Wednesday, Disney (DIS: news) told the Securities and Exchange Commission that Michael Eisner, who served as chief executive officer until Oct. 1, received a $9.11 million bonus, in addition to a $1 million salary. The company said Robert Iger, Eisner's successor, was paid a $7.74 million bonus, on top of a $1.5 million salary.Eisner also began drawing an annual pension of $297,779 from Disney, plus an additional pension of $579 per year from his 10 years working for ABC.
19 million divided by 365 days=$52,054 per day. With one day Park Hopper Tickets at $79, that means that the first 659 Guests into the Park pay for their salaries.
Now, if you want to get really depressed, spend a minute or two figuring out how many additional Cast Members that $52,000 would pay for.
Oh, and Eisner gets that $7.5 million for two more years. Keep up the good work!
