Bob Iger Logged 4.6 Million Miles as Disney CEO

During his tenure as the head of The Walt Disney Company, former CEO Bob Iger logged a staggering 4.6 million miles in the air. To put that into perspective, that is the equivalent of traveling to the moon and back nearly ten times, or circling the Earth more than 180 times, all while expanding the Disney empire on a global scale.

The post reads:

“It’s official. 4.67M  miles flown (and that’s Bob not Tinkerbell) in service to the Walt Disney Company and its cast members, guests, shareholders sand partners. All while being a super-hero father, grandfather and husband. I am filled with pride and gratitude that I will be your co-pilot for the next chapter. Congratulations Bob!”
