They don't need to. They're still making more each year than you or I will make in our entire lives.
They make more than we’ll make in our lives before lunch. Every day.
His current pay package is about $233m/yr. That's about $112k/day. I think your math might be off. Even if you make $7.25/hr, you'll make $112k in just over eight years. Still an absurd disparity, but not as far as you say.
BLS lists the median annual salary as $62k. So, he does make more money in a half day than the majority of Americans make in a year. There's no way any one person deserves that much money.
