It feels like a trend now...CEOs/founders of profitable startups are making BANK. Just look at Zerodha

Isn’t it their right to make some money? I mean they created something of such high value - shouldn’t they get a chance to take some money out?

Zerodha is a privately owned, bootstrapped company, they can choose to pay themselves 100 cr if they wish to.
For others, boards have a say, and it would look quite ironic if the company was doing poor and CEOs were making millions. But apart from Zerodha, other CEO salaries don’t look extraordinary high.

trend? Isn't that what's supposed to happen?
