Here’s how much Disney’s GC earns
The remuneration packages of general counsel at some of the world’s biggest enterprises have been revealed in a new survey.
The annual CG Compensation Survey by Corporate Counsel reveals that Disney’s GC retains the top slot with take-home pay of US11.473 million, made up of $7.034 million in cash and $4.438 million of stock options. The package works out less than in 2015 despite a larger cash payment, as stock values are lower.
It seems that Disney’s reputation for happy endings extends to GC payments as the second highest earner will receive significant less at just under $8 million from Energy Transfer Equity.
The rankings are by cash payments only which means that while Apple’s GC will earn $5 million in 2016 and ranks 5th overall, Microsoft’s top lawyer will take home ‘only’ $1.95 million and ranks 31st.
Rupert Murdoch’s Twenty-First Century Fox is one of the highest cash payers with $6.325, the third highest overall.
