Robert A. McDonald had significant stock holdings in Procter & Gamble, where his personal shares were valued at over $12 million in 2019. His total stock holdings, including those from retirement plans and trusts, reached nearly $28 million by late 2019. This shows not only his financial commitment to the company but also how he capitalized on his role over the years. At his peak, he had substantial wealth tied up in P&G stock, reflecting a belief in the company’s future and a strong personal financial stake in its performance. This strategic positioning allowed McDonald to benefit from the company’s growth while aligning his interests with those of P&G shareholders. However, as he transitioned into retirement, his focus shifted away from compensation gains to the legacy and long-term impact he had on the organization.
