Disney CEO Robert Iger decides to forgo part of 2008 Bonus

[jake75]

In today's WStJ: Disney CEO Robert Iger received $2 mil in salary and a $13.9 mil bonus for fiscal 2008 making his 2008 compensation up nearly 11%. His bonus was $2.4 mil less than he was entitled to receive as he decided to forgo that money as a gesture of goodwill in the economic climate.Isn't that a really heart warming story. If that causes him to run short I guess we could all send him a dollar or two.

That would have impressed everyone and set a good precedent for all the other overpaid CEO's, especially those asking for government bailouts!!! $2 million salary is enough. Gah!
