In 2014, Bilglari took more than $34 million in incentive pay despite the stock price of Biglari Holdings falling more than 20 percent.[3] His proxy battle over Cracker Barrel, along with perceived poor performance of the company, and documentation of corporate misdeeds, have caused for calls of his resignation.[4][5]
