He's a founder and possibly gets salary and stock dividends in millions of dollars every month. He can most certainly work 80hrs a month.

Founders usually work a lot, hence the pay. There's nothing new about it.

so true, At my business am working twice as hard as i do at my salaried employment.
Why would i even work for 80 hrs week when they will fire me if the profit falls 5%?

Owner of company has 2 things to say. I worked 80 hours. After few decades they will say, i regert not rewarding employees. Many efforts dont need stress but the mentality of 12 hours. Over engineering, visibility, survival politics are all hidden reasons to log more hours

So true... Speeches of Celebrity founders have the same value as item song actresses... Just a feel good factor. I always wondered why people even listen to them.

He owns a majority stake in the business, apart from whatever is given to employees.

Look at all the small, local businesses of India that got built from the 80s or 90s onwards, most people worked their ass off and created something for their families.

There is nothing wrong in him doing it since the payout to him varies seriously from a large outcome through a listing or even an acquisition.

Check how many hours people who created outlier level wealth worked, you would probably get a very high number.
