Lots of executives around the world make huge profits for their companies and employees, without collecting multimillion dollar salaries for themselves. Since being a millionaire is empirically not required for CEOs, their multimillion dollar salaries could be better used elsewhere.

If you see a company paying their executive too much, why not either:

    a) Offer to do their job for less.
    b) Start a competing company? With your lower costs you should have no trouble crushing them in the market.
Because people who're in a position to control company buying are falling over themselves to ensure justice in wages and make sure that people who're in a position to control company buying aren't being overpaid?
You're suggesting that most shareholders are more interested in perpetuating social injustice than they are in maximizing profits?
