The CEO of zappos.com, the world's largest Internet shoe company (featured quite extensively on TLC's What Not to Wear) makes $36K/year and has a cubicle just like any other employee. They rake in $100M or more in sales every year.

How come more CEOs can't take an example from this guy?

Exactly.

Many CEO's are worth their pay. I have no problem with CEO pay as long as it's tied to performance.

It always is until things go bad, then it becomes an entitlement.
