Because the number of CEO positions much lower than the number of people.

What do you mean? Everyone can start their own company and become a CEO overnight. The answer isn't what you said it is.

I mean the number of CEO positions at companies that make a lot of money. In order to start such a company you need many things which most people don't have, including luck, timing and access to capital.

Sure you can pay yourself 200x nothing! But the argument is people are fighting for those well paid posts at established enterprises.

When someone calls "Shotgun" do you ask "Why don't we all ride shotgun?" Because someone has to actually make the car move.
