This cut his shares down by 50% to 555,865 as Iger looks to “diversity his portfolio” during the time he steps down from his position as the Walt Disney Chairman. When Bob Iger originally took the CEO role of the company before passing it off to Bob Chapek, he was able to help Disney’s stock rise sevenfold since 2005. Disney even noted, “The value of these shares reflects the significant shareholder value generated under his leadership.”
