> CEOs work 204 times as hard as regular employees

That's an interesting (and ridiculous) way to spin the numbers.

One doesn't have to work x times harder to bring x times more value to a company.

They said that on purpose. They are (implied) criticizing, on their own terms, something they said themselves. Strawnman parrying.

So you're saying success isn't a function of how hard you work?

Value isn't solely a function of effort, no. Some activities are more fruitful than others. This is a universal truth by the way, not simply a property of our current economic system. If I work up a sweat driving nails into wood with a hammer, that won't make whatever I'm creating stronger than if I used an electric screwdriver or nailgun.
