These salaries is kind of obscene. But then, the conduct and social impact (in the US or outside of it) of many of these companies is also kind of obscene: Lyft and Uber employ pseudo-freelancers for very low effective wages; AirBnB are keeping apartments out of the regular rental market in favor of jacked up per-day prices; Facebook tracks everybody and shapes (to some extent) their consciousness and knowledge of the world; and so on.
