Behind Disney’s Prices

The May 14 story, “California’s Highest Paid Executives,” noted that three of Walt Disney Co.’s top officers, Michael Eisner, Frank Wells and Richard Nunis, earned a total of more than $77 million 1988. Now I know why Disneyland charges such exorbitant prices for everything from rides to popcorn. Maybe I’ll start spending my recreation dollars at Hilton Hotels. My heart really bled for poor Baron Hilton, who finished in 100th place with his paltry 1988 income of only $954,547.
