My boss works like 60 hours a week. I work 30-40 hours doing basically nothing-and it's not uncommon at all for me to take home more money than the business itself does on a given, random day. If your company is big enough for executives to earn "passive" income it's probably not a hell of a lot if you compare it to the payrolls. If you want to be mad about being exploited then turn your ire at the tax man where it belongs; stop being resentful of the people that have given you an opportunity to crawl out of the hole you'd dug yourself in by spending $100,000 on a worthless art degree you retard.

The workers in the hats doubtless live in a socialist or socialist-leaning country. If these workers are being abused by this arrangement why doesn't their all-powerful government protect them? Maybe they're being paid a fair market value for the rudimentary work they're performing in whatever country they're performing it in.

Being a CEO is a big responsibility, you have the performance of a very large organization under your influence and you are in turn under intense scrutiny; one wrong move could threaten the entire company and therefor imperil hundreds of thousands, if not millions of workers across multiple countries that both work for your company and the many third party organizations that assist your company in performing its stated function. A high-powered executive might make 10 million a year, but if he wasn't there the rest of the employees would usually be left with nothing but extra pocket change and a less efficient operation overall that might not be able to pay as much or hire as many.
