There have been many studies surrounding CEOs.[1] A large portion of them keep showing that a bad CEO is worse than no CEO, an average CEO likely isn't actually doing anything, and a good CEO is probably just lucky. This topic has been researched and had the data poured over to the ends of the earth to find that "special CEO sauce". The reality? There is likely a tiny subset of all CEOs that are actually worth 271 times what the typical worker is making (Steve Jobs comes to mind). That subset of actual talented visionary CEOs is probably a ridiculously small number (eg 1% of CEOs in a global pool). The rest of the time it's just a good ol' boys club for the already rich.
