  It is real power though. Did you just read the WSJ article about the McDonalds CEO who was denied a $100 million severance package because he was caught having sex with employees?

    Unless the employee got the severance package the CEO was denied, that's not an example of what you're referring to.

      Sex appeal is so powerful that CEOs of multi billion dollar companies will risk their job, public image, and millions of dollars to have sex.

        Or rather CEO perceived zero risk and so did as they liked
