I think you are missing the scale and reaching for a political point where one does not need to be made. There are 500 CEOs in the SP500 and 164 million women

  Isn't that still like $7b[1] at the average 15m? Compare that to $45k[2] * for the 76k[3] women in the workforce, that's only ~$3.5b. Its US women vs the global S&P list, but it is interesting to compare, now that you mention it.

    your math is of by a factor of 1000X. Per your link, there are 76 million women in the workforce, not 76k. That is $7 billion to CEOs vs $3.5 Trillion for women.
