For all intents and purposes you likely have more free time than the CEO. No one sane wants the responsibility: that's why it's so valuable. It's not evil. Gl

For all intents and purposes you likely have more free time than the CEO. No one sane wants the responsibility: that's why it's so valuable. It's not evil. Glad you're counting you're blessings, now you can stop worrying about CEOs!

I know some retired CEOs, and they are not very busy.

  Oh, I don't. Definitely don't envy their lives, after working with them. They all keep working from the few I know, it's a certain kind of person. Almost a curse. Even with hundreds of millions. One is doing django alongside me almost 12hr/day... lol... I know some retired policemen/public workers and they're doing handsomely. Went hunting one time and this guy was decked out, asked him "what do you do?!" Turns out he's retired police...

    How old were those police officers when they retired?

      Usually late 40s. 20yrs gets you 50% of your salary for the rest of your life on top of whatever else you saved. 3% more every year you stay on. The guy I met hunting was in his 50s and has 30+ years in the force. He's getting like 70k/yr lol Same with my highschool gf's dad.

Yes indeed a job of a CEO is not an easy peasy one if you are not into politics and power games but IMHO it’s a small price to pay if you are compensated like that and after such a stint you won’t need to work ever again. The fact that most of the CEOs are still working after receiving such a compensation package shows their different mindset which is probably essential to becoming a CEO in the first place… personally I’d gladly take 1/100th of that and never have to worry about money ever again. Doesn’t mean I would stop working. I’d just stop working for money trying to hack my way into early retirement which probably won’t come anyways.
