I see that CEOs are being picked on about really high salaries regularly, the real question is what would happen if they got paid much less? Company would make more profit and that profit would go to the shareholders.

Honest questions: So why does it matter? Whether the part of money goes to a CEO or another rich shareholder? How does it change anything? To be honest pretty much in every company major shareholders make way more money than CEOs.

Is it the idea that "middle class" can be a CEO so in theory it's attainable yet being a major shareholder is not even within the reach of "middle class" therefore it's almost being jealous of fellow man (CEO), because it's human yet major shareholders are more like "Pharaohs and Emperors" ?
