He also received incentive pay of $16.5 million, up from $15.5 million, whereas other compensation for security and personal air travel came to $800,700, down from $962,932 a year earlier, according to filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

California-based Disney said that its Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer James Rasulo got pay package of $12.2 million, up from $11.07 million a year ago.

The compensation includes $1.49 million in base salary, stock awards of $3.01 million, option awards of $1.80 million, $4.08 million incentive pay, change in pension value and non qualified deferred compensation earnings of $1.79 million and all other compensation of $36,548.
