I think you make a really good point here by looking at international salaries. Like a lot of other commetors, I think that a good CEO really is worth the salary. We've all had bad managers and seen bad C-suite decisions play out. However, the excessiveness of the increased pay is very concerning. I get it, those people exist in a market as well, and you have to play by market dynamics as a result. But as compared to international C-suites, US pay is very very high.

The issue's core problem is the excessive pay of C-suite people in the US affecting the workforce. This bleeds quickly into charities, of course.
