(+) Yeah! (+)

I think you got it

CEOs give a public face to hate and blame when things go wrong instead of the corporation.

So they should only be paid $1. Because them being hated means literally nothing.

Large companies have billions invested in their name and brand. Having a fall guy is valuable to mitigate damage to your brand. Its like buying insurance.

some star athlete contracts are wat so that

IMO CEOs of huge companies

So they should only be paid $1. Because them being hated means literally nothing.

Athletes are definitely not overpaid because majority of people cannot do what they are able to do no matter how hard they tried. Many people I knew played sports their entire lives and never even got close to being good enough to go pro.

Its a very difficult life with the workload, the practices, and time it takes to be good at a sport. Its not all glamour.

nurses

they're not directly involved in the grunt work of production or internal operations, but they tend to oversee procurement and allocation of company resources, investor and partner relations, high-level organizational strategy, and generally coordinating the company's navigation of the broader system.

furthermore, since they're both the face of and directly accountable for the overall success of the organization, their name and subsequent career are on the line based on the company's performance, and so there's a degree of selectiveness with respect to more prominent candidates, meaning their comp must be that much more competitive.

in short, they're paid well not because they produce, but because they're critical to the well-being of the entire corporate machine.

Top soccer players, Formula 1 drivers and
such.

Literally millions of dollars flying around, and for what?

Making millions more for the companies they work for. Entertaining billions in some cases. Seems underpaid actually.

Heir/ heiress to a vast fortune

theyre glorified figure heads of companies. They dont do much of anything because all the dirty work and heavy lifting is done by people they hired to do it for them.

CEOs give a public face to hate and blame when things go wrong instead of the corporation.

I agree with this and they're still overpaid.

Someone needs to captain the ship. Definitely. This can come with increased risk and rewards. But they don't need to make a thousand times, a million times what the average employee makes.

^sad but true

even if they get fired from the company, there are still lots of other companies willing to throw money at them
