> Why such a sweet deal? Obviously it’s no easy task running a major corporation, so a commensurately meaty paycheck is to be expected.

Statements like this really grate on me. Corporations large enough to afford seven-figure annual salaries already have dozens, if not hundreds of great, capable employees that could do at least as good a job as these guys for 100th of the cost.

The obscene salaries are purely the result of collusion.
