  4. 11 famous Americans who aren't as rich as you think they are
  5. Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of The Walt Disney Company cofounder Roy Disney, is only worth $120 million, according to her own reports.

Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of The Walt Disney Company cofounder Roy Disney, is only worth $120 million, according to her own reports.

That makes her worth less than the company's current CEO, Bob Iger, who has a net worth of $690 million, according to Forbes estimates. Abigail Disney has previously criticized Iger for being overpaid.

"The internet says I have half a billion dollars and I might have something close to that if I'd been investing aggressively," Disney herself told the Financial Times in June. "I'm roughly around $120 million and I have been for some time now."

Disney has given away $70 million of her personal fortune over the past 30 years.

Disney is a well-known and outspoken critic of the wealth divide in America. In June, she was among a group of 19 ultrawealthy Americans who signed an open letter to the 2020 presidential candidates expressing their collective support for a moderate wealth tax on the 1%.
