    • some exceptions for CEOs that actually founded the company they remain in charge of, but they’re in the minority for sure. There’s probably variance by sector as well.

        Maybe I’m just too close to the non-profit side of things to see it as a simple binary.

          “Non-profit” is a tax classification, not a description of their business motives. I’m not saying that all non-profits are bad. They definitely help people. But many are absolutely profit-driven, with their CEOs making a shitload of money. CEOs, by and large, profit off the exploited labor of their employees.
