The search to replace Bob Iger (for the second time) remains underway and the wagering on who will be the next Disney CEO is heating up.

Last week, The Hollywood Reporter broke the "Next Disney CEO Odds" story and noted that Dana Walden was a 2/1 favorite, but that the odds via BetOnline.ag were tight and volatile.

Josh D’Amaro, the Disney Parks chairman, was listed just behind Walden at 7/2, and ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro was not far off the lead with 4/1 odds.

"An influx of bets have come in on Walden during the past week so we've made her the odds-on favorite," BetOnline.ag Brand Manager Dave Mason said. "These wagers are coming from professional bettors who have won on speculative markets in the past so we have to respect their position."

Walden is now listed with 1/2 odds, meaning a bettor must risk more than what will be returned (i.e. risk 20 to win 10).

Below are the latest odds for the next Disney CEO, and you can access the numbers in real-time.

Just Over $6 Million Bet on Next Pope at Kalshi

So just how long will it take for the next pope to be selected and bets graded?  More likely in a matter of days but there have been times where the process took three years (1218 there were a lot of impatient bettors we suspect).
