I'm always surprised to see how many CEOs walk away with millions while running their companies to the ground. The vast majority of the S&P 500 corps are mostly monopolies (Telecommunication, Airlines, Insurance...etc.) and for the most part run themselves yet the CEOs are paid exorbitantly.

How much did the CEOs of Circuit City, Blockbuster and so many others made while being completely oblivious to what was happening around them? Even low-level employees probably saw the shift to online/Amazon yet CEOs still walked away with millions. The Corp structure/model seems to be completely broken and most of them can only survive as monopolies.
