The French didn't rise up and decapitate their royal family because some people in France were very rich; they decapitated the aristocracy for taxing them to starving point and spending it on their own luxury rather than on anything useful for the people. High-paid CEOs like Marissa Meyer aren't harming or stealing from Joe Public, the only people they're potentially hurting is shareholders (and maybe employees if they destroy the company). I myself can't think of any point in history where people rose up in revolution and overthrew the government just because "some people here are very rich".
