Yes indeed a job of a CEO is not an easy peasy one if you are not into politics and power games but IMHO it’s a small price to pay if you are compensated like that and after such a stint you won’t need to work ever again.
The fact that most of the CEOs are still working after receiving such a compensation package shows their different mindset which is probably essential to becoming a CEO in the first place… personally I’d gladly take 1/100th of that and never have to worry about money ever again. Doesn’t mean I would stop working. I’d just stop working for money trying to hack my way into early retirement which probably won’t come anyways.
