Disney CEO and chairman Bob Iger, 67, is good at picking winners. On his watch, @Disney—on TIME’s 2018 list of the 50 most genius companies—has released five of the top 10 grossing global hit movies of all time. Not only did he sign off on those films, he also spearheaded the purchase of the companies that made them. Apple’s Tim Cook says Iger operates a lot like a tech-company CEO: “Both are trying to skate to where the puck is going and not where it is. We’re making calls years in advance.” What really distinguishes Iger from rival #Hollywood CEOs—and what has insulated Disney from the vast shifts in viewing patterns that have battered others—is his conviction that an already gigantic company should keep getting bigger. While competitors mostly avoided risks at this scale, Iger spent lavishly to buy @Disney Pixar ($7.4 billion), @Marvel Entertainment ($4 billion) and @lucasfilm ($4 billion), giving Disney a lineup of moneymaking franchises that far outdistances competitors’. Some critics bemoan the sequelization of Hollywood, but no one doubts Iger’s moves have paid off. When TIME set out to identify the most creatively successful companies in the world, candidates ranged from brilliant upstarts to household names. But even in that elite group, the Walt Disney Co. stands out. In 2018, Disney has released the top three U.S. box-office hits. And Iger has topped his own bigger-is-better strategy with a $71 billion deal to buy 21st Century Fox’s entertainment assets, bringing into the fold everything from #Avatar to @thesimpsons. The studio that began in the back of a real estate office by selling its first cartoon to one distributor in 1923 is poised to launch its own streaming service. By eliminating the middlemen and selling content directly to consumers, Disney will disrupt the disrupters. “I don’t think anybody else could do this but us, frankly,” says Iger.
