Disney is owned by people like Robert A. Iger, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of The Walt Disney Company, since 2005. Others like Jack Dorsey, Twitter co-founder, and Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook won’t probably seek re-election as board members, as companies like Twitter and Facebook have become way more media companies than they used to be. When it comes to institutional investors with more than 5% of the company, Blackrock Inc. with 5.5% and The Vanguard Group with 6.1% respectively owned Disney stocks in 2017.

As The Walt Disney Company was founded in 1923 it had also a long history in terms of stock ownership. It is interesting to revisit the story of how Steve Jobs owned almost 8% of the company got for a few years.
