"CEO Tim Cook made $63.2 million in 2023, down 36% from $99.4 million in 2022." - stupid question, but what can one do with such money? These people are sick.

With that amount of money you can change the world. You think reusable rockets should exist - you can make them exist.

  So far their ambition seems to be focused on moving the power button around on my phone and getting rid of other buttons and ports.

Buy 2 million loafs of bread. A plane. A downpayment on a bunker in Hawaii. What could you do? Fund 63 charities. Buy a small one person condo in New York. Making money doesn't make you sick. Calling someone sick might.

Someone like Tim Cook works basically 24x7, 365 days a year, has made hundreds of billions in profit, increased the value of his company by like a trillion dollars, and gets $60-90M for the trouble. One can argue that's too much money, sure, but then you have the multibillionaire class above him (say Steve Ballmer as a random example, and plenty of large Apple shareholders like Buffet I'm sure) who have done absolutely nothing all year and still seen their net worth go up by tens of billions of dollars. Looking at these people it's Tim Cook who should be complaining about being underpaid.

  >Someone like Tim Cook works basically 24x7 I find it hard to believe Tim Cook does not sleep. Anyway, it's much easier to work all the time when you're obscenely rich because you can pay people to take your problems away, like cooking dinner or taking the kids to school. Tim Cook doesn't get home late because of a cancelled train and then have to do chores. >365 days a year I also find it hard to believe Tim Cook does not take holidays whatsoever. >has made hundreds of billions in profit No, the company made hundreds of billions in profit under his direction. It is impossible to know how much better or worse that figure would be with someone else at the helm. I don't deny that Tim Cook is valuable to Apple, but nobody is irreplaceable. The world is full of intelligent people who could do the same job for a tiny fraction of his salary.
