Notes for Roy Edward Disney
Roy Edward Disney KCSG (January 10, 1930 – December 16, 2009) was a longtime senior executive for the Walt Disney Company, which was founded by his father, Roy O. Disney, and his uncle, Walt Disney. At the time of his death, he held more than 16 million shares (about 1% of the company), and served as a consultant for the company, as director emeritus for the board of directors. During his tenure, he organized the ousting of two top Disney executives: Ron W. Miller in 1984 and Michael Eisner in 2005.

As the last member of the
Disney family to be actively involved in the company, Disney was often compared to his uncle and father. In 2006, Forbes magazine estimated his personal fortune at $1.2 billion.

Disney was also a celebrated yachtsman, a member of the
San Diego Yacht Club best known for his success in the Transpacific Yacht Race and winning the Newport Bermuda Race.
