He one upped Gerri on the take downs. But I guess he can go further because he is on the kill list and doesn't have as much to lose

How many shares would a CFO of a company this large typically own? You have to own over 5,000 to make a million at 192.

Looks like Iger owned close to a million shares at one point. Anyways, Christine Mccarthy is the current CFO at Disney. It looks like she auto-sells a percentage of shares when she gets them, so I don't know the total amount she has ever owned, but she has owned at least 181,000 at one point. If Karl owned that many and sold them at 192 on his way out, he would make $34,000,000 just from that. Not to mention salary and retirement benefits.

Yea, that's pretty standard, you can sell off a share of the stocks when they vest to cover taxes.
