Career · Love & family · Money · The evidence
Bob Iger’s wealth story is unusually document-rich for a celebrity profile: Disney files exact annual compensation, while his private assets, taxes, investment basis and debts remain undisclosed. That makes the old page’s neat $700 million total and invented business, real-estate and endorsement buckets look more certain than the evidence allows.
Celebrity Net Worth currently publishes $600 million. It is a useful current reference point, but it is still one publisher’s estimate rather than a personal financial statement. Celebrity Net Worth — Bob Iger · Net Worth VIP — methodology
01 / The breakthrough
From ABC production to Disney’s acquisition era
Iger joined ABC in 1974, rose through its television operations and entered Disney when the company acquired Capital Cities/ABC in 1996. Disney named him CEO in 2005 after five years as president and chief operating officer. Disney — Robert A. Iger biography · Disney — 2005 CEO announcement
His defining strategic record came from company acquisitions: Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and most of 21st Century Fox. Those transactions expanded Disney’s intellectual-property portfolio, but their purchase prices were paid by Disney and do not represent Iger’s personal earnings or assets. Disney — Robert A. Iger biography
02 / Family
Willow Bay, four children and five grandchildren
Iger married journalist and USC Annenberg dean Willow Bay in 1995. Disney’s own 2005 biography names his two daughters, Kate and Amanda, and two sons, Max and William; USC later reported four children and five grandchildren. Disney — 2005 CEO announcement · USC — Willow Bay profile
The couple also has a public business connection outside Disney. USC’s current biography says Bay and Iger are controlling owners of Angel City Football Club. The ownership description is public, but their purchase basis, ownership percentage and current personal value are not disclosed. USC Annenberg — Dean Willow Bay
03 / The money story
Large disclosed pay, private personal economics
Disney’s 2026 proxy reports $45,842,574 of fiscal-2025 total compensation for Iger, up from $41,114,015 in fiscal 2024. The newer total includes a $1 million salary and large stock and option awards. SEC compensation tables value equity at grant date; they do not prove that the same amount was received in cash or retained after vesting, market moves, taxes and spending. SEC — Disney 2026 proxy statement · SEC — Disney 2025 proxy statement
That distinction is why the profile does not add executive-pay totals, Disney acquisition prices or sports-team headline valuations into a homemade net-worth calculation. The inputs use different owners, dates and valuation rules.

04 / Now
A planned Disney exit and a contested Lakers proposal
Josh D’Amaro became Disney chief executive on March 18, 2026. Disney says Iger remains senior adviser and a board member through his planned retirement from the company on December 31. Calling him the current Disney CEO is now stale. Disney — Josh D’Amaro named CEO · SEC — Disney 2026 Form 8-K
In August, AP reported that Josh Kushner and Iger had reached an agreement tied to the Los Angeles Lakers at a $12.5 billion team valuation. A follow-up reported Jeanie Buss was contesting the sibling group’s planned sale of its remaining 17.8% stake. The transaction should therefore be described as proposed and disputed; no reviewed source discloses Iger’s individual check, percentage or completed ownership.
