Why Bob Iger's Ultimate Power Move May Be Selling Disney to Apple
• https://www.thewrap.com by JOE BEL BRUNONow that Disney CEO Bob Iger has regained the keys to the Magic Kingdom — less than three years after his chosen successor, Bob Chapek, took over — insiders suspect they know how the beloved executive will find a new way to go out on top during his final two-year stint.
"He's going to sell the company," one Disney insider who has worked for Iger predicted. "This is the pinnacle deal for the ultimate dealmaker."
Landing a deal with Apple (or some other megabuyer) would also cement Iger's legacy. "I think he'd welcome it — he'd be the last CEO of Disney," a former top Disney executive told TheWrap, noting that the two companies have "similar brand identities" and could benefit from a merger.
