How so? The rich don't benefit from profits being tied up in a business account. If they want that money, they either have to receive it as immediate compensation or invest it in hopes of receiving even greater compensation in the future.

The generally accepted meaning of "compensation" is not related to distribution of profit. All compensation to employees and managers (including bonuses) is a "before-profit" expense; and all distribution of profits to company owners like dividends and stock buybacks is not called compensation, that's an entirely separate category.
