      The CEO earns ~262 times as much, which means they earn around a whole year’s wage of an employee for each 8 hours they work.

      Edit: And as I recall some billionaires earn a whole year’s salary each hour, $280,000/hr

        Jeff Bezos increased his net worth by $7B last year. Assuming an 8 hour work day, 5 days per week, 52 weeks per year, which he almost certainly works less than, but for the sake of math, let’s assume that… He made $3,365,384.61 per hour last year. That’s $56,089.74 per minute. He makes as much in one minute as one of his higher paid warehouse employees makes for the entire year.
