Disney CEO Bob Iger has sold his luxurious Manhattan apartment for $18.8 million.
The 66-year-old star executive – who was paid $36.3 million last year – put his 11-room Fifth Avenue pad on sale for $19 million in July last year.
On the seventh floor, the opulent home comes with views of Central Park, four bedrooms, a wood-burning fireplace, wood-pannelled library and a modern kitchen.
The sale comes after Iger took a 17 per cent pay cut last year – his third in a row since he earned $46.5 million in 2014.
In 2015 his earnings fell to $44.9 million and in 2016 to $43.9 million – though he remains the fourth-highest paid executive in the US, according to Forbes.

The building, at 1125 on the exclusive street, was erected in 1925 and has only 25 apartments. Last year Phyllis Louis-Dreyfus, stepmother of Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus, sold her apartment on the ninth floor for $20 million. Pictured left: The building from outside.

Iger has been chief of Disney since 2005 and, last month, had his contract extended until 2021 after the firm reached a $52.4 billion deal to buy assets from 21st Century Fox. Pictured: The modern kitchen in the apartment
The costly apartment comes with 11 bedrooms and includes wood-burning fires as well as views of nearby Central Park
