Bob Iger will continue to helm The Walt Disney Company through June 2016 as Chairman and CEO. This is a change from his original contract which called for him to retire as CEO in April 2015 and transition to the role of executive chairman.
Iger has been CEO of the company since September 30, 2005, and during his tenure has overseen the acquisition of Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm, in addition to theme park and resort renovations. In 2012, Iger was paid nearly $40.2 million.
