You say Executive pay is not an asset. So if an executive owns the deed to a house, you'd agree that's an asset, but if the executive maintains a skill to be hired for 200k/day, that this is not an asset?

Doesn't an executive's ability to convince a company to pay 200k/day fluctuate based on market forces just like how people price homes or tulip bulbs?

Absolutely. They cost so much more than they did before precisely because of market forces.

Good luck convincing all of the underpaid $120k/yr salaried engineers, though. 95% of the world would kill to live in the cozy little bubble of tech, but that doesn't matter because those other guys over there are getting even more.

No matter how much you have, you always want more.
