You cant hate on all CEOs; that website you used Bitey is for >300 companies, all of which are on S&P 500 list.
There are hundreds of thousands of companies in the country, all of which have a CEO (just might not call him that), and the vast majority do not make nearly that much money. See http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Chief_Executive_Officer_%28CEO%29/Salary and http://swz.salary.com/salarywizard/layouthtmls/swzl_compresult_national_ex05000001.html
But I agree that making that much money is a little ridiculous.
