If we're specifically talking about large enterprises, these CEOs make more in a year than most Americans make their entire life. If you didn't live a Fortune 1000 CEO level lifestyle you could literally do the job for 4-6 months and retire, and that's ignoring the fact that they've typically been in the C-Suite making 20-50% of that salary for decades already. It's not often somebody living paycheck to paycheck is promoted into CEO.
I've worked jobs in public companies where the CEO and half the C-Suite was driven to work every morning. I've worked jobs where a rank and file programmer got denied a raise because he left at 4 every day (despite working 8 or more hours every day) because the policy was to work 8-5, while the CEO worked from a vacation home when the weather wasn't nice where our HQ was. Whether the job is hard is irrelevant, all the GP is saying is that you have ultimate flexibility in that role, and now the poors have a taste of it too, and most of them/us aren't going to give it up without a fight.
