Always remember to keep things in perspective
For all of those people who can't even imagine earning a few million dollars in their lifetime (let alone in a single year), please do the following:
Pick a successful company that you know well (your employer?);
Add up the salaries of the top management employee(s) of that company;
Divide this total by the company's net earnings, calculated prior to the deduction of these salaries;
What is the % of earnings paid to top management? How does this compare to the management salaries that you are questioning? Did the questioned management increase the annual net earnings for the company's owners?
