Luckily, other then money I have no power over, like tax money paying
sports franchises in subsidies or TV contracts, they do not get any of
my money. Sadly, apparently, many people are quite willing to pay them
massive amounts at gate receipt for the opportunity to watch these
people do their thing. Costly voyeurism in my opinion.

Like in sports (etc) one gets, what one can get. Problem that they get
it
isn't, I think, their asking -- but the willingness of the company
owners to
pay it.



fact,

A lot if not most compensation to CEO's basially does that in that
their compensation tends to be heavily in options that are worthless
unless the stock prices are high (which is what his/her boss is
interested in), and usually is much higher than the stock's market
value
at the time the options are given.

Stock prices do not necessarily reflect the value or viability of the
company... it is often only when the public (and more so, institutional
investors )determine a company is no longer worth what it was hyped to,
that the options start falling. Usually, the CEO has abandoned ship and
sold their share before then.

Then they'd always be fired after 4.9 years automatically. :-)

I'm not so sure. A really good CEO is hard to find, and they would only
receive the first year's average on the fifth year. Replacing a CEO
isn't cheap.

I think you are confusing the directors with the owners, and since
in many cases the directors are nominated by management, it is almost
as if they decide their own salary.
