By that logic, the members of the Fed should be on every tech company's payroll.

It would probably drop 10% or so (out of investor uncertainty) and in 1 to 2 months be back to where it was, regardless of successor.

What if they replaced him with someone currently making the average compensation at Apple?

There are probably many adequate CEOs already within Apple, making average compensation. You seem to believe CEOs are minted; they all move up the ranks like the rest of us. If the skills are there to lead a company, investors don't care what their last pay scale or job title was and trust the Board or Directors in who is appointed.
