Salary is often the single largest expense on the income statement, and especially so for service based companies. This expense will frequently massively outstrip the profit line item. So no employees are not getting 0.000001% of these companies, they are in fact getting the majority of the money flowing through these companies. You are noting that the employee line item is split up amongst 50,000 employees and the smaller profit number is behind split up among 50 owners. So an individual owner makes massively more money than an individual employee but missing that employees as a class are still getting more of the money than the owners.
