By overlooking exorbitant CEO salaries, we wrongly accept the "meritocracy" myth; that is, the inaccurate notion that in order to attract the best and brightest we must pay CEOs skyrocketing salaries. A CEO at an S&P 500 company will make an average annual salary of $11.4 million. An elite U.S. Navy SEAL will only make $54,000.
