Are CEOs worth the extreme disparity in their salary vs. the most entry level position?

CEOs and top executives can make more money, but it truly is extreme how much more it is. There was a company that allowed only x amount more that the top people could make based on the lowest paid employee. Now that makes sense.

Do you remember which company this is?

Depends. I’d lean and say no, but the biggest reason CEOs make that much is because there aren’t a lot of people to choose from. So it’s a supply issue - at least in the eyes of boards / investors doing the hiring

Supply issue and maybe high risk? I can only imagine how tough a CEO job is

Definitely not. I think anyone, including the CEOs, would have a hard time justifying their wage versus their output.

Of course not
