CEOs get paid according to their ability to run companies.

We live in a free market, and one of those is competition for the best CEOs. Companies are all trying to attract the best ones to their companies, which is why they get paid so much. If it was an easy job, and there was millions of people who were good at it, they wouldn't be getting the money they do.

Everyone has a superannuation fund, which is what we all rely on to retire with. The dividends shares receive go to increasing that.

Do rich people have more shares than poor people? Yes. They also have more property, cash in the bank, and nicer cars.
