Disney CEO Bob Iger sells Fifth Avenue apartment for $19m

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.
