Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of Disney's co-founder, said the CEO's level of pay is too high compared to that of his median employee.
Disney CEO Bob Iger's $65.6 million total compensation is"insane," according to Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of the company's co-founder.
It's not the first time the Disney heiress and philanthropist has criticized CEO pay. In March, Disney stopped short of commenting on Iger's pay in an interview on CNBC's"Squawk Box," but said,"If your CEO salary is at the 700, 600, 500 times your median workers' pay, there is nobody on Earth, Jesus Christ himself isn't worth 500 times his median workers' pay.
