You say that, but it's not your money.

The people whose money it is, the people with actual skin in the game, they disagree, and so they are willing to give up their money to pay the guy, because he's worth it to them.

And that's no skin off your back.

It's just like anything else. I wouldn't pay for super bowl tickets, but if you would great. It's your money, go ahead and buy the tickets and have fun.

Or I wouldn't buy a deck of Magic cards. Maybe you would because that game is worth it to you, in which case great! Again, it's your money so you spend it in the way that you think is worthwhile, the way that you think is beneficial to you.

So it is with these CEOs. The companies that hire them spend their money because they think the CEO is worth it. No skin off my back. Only off theirs, and since they are spending their own money on it, whatever.

It doesn't matter what you or I think of the pay, just like it doesn't matter what you or I think about paying for super bowl tickets or magic decks. It's their money for them to spend in the way that they think is worthwhile, at their own loss if they are wrong.
