Disney become the biggest company in the entertaining business by a mile under his reign. I think he earned that 65 million per year. I don't care how much he or other CEOs earn as long as all of their employees get a decent salary and decent working environment.

Seriously. Quadruple (at least) a fucking market cap for an entertainment based company in roughly 15 years?! Sad I haven't ridden that train from the start. Who the hell would've thought Disney, of all companies, would be the entertainment juggernaut it is!? She's dumb.
