In a sense they are, but comparable to executive salaries at companies with roughly comparable tech/services, those salaries are probably very low.

Probably any tech company of note is paying "executives" far, far more than that, at least in the US.

I don't think it's valid to think extravagant pay rates are not extravagant simply because other executives are also paid extravagant rates.

They are all a bit over-the-top.

Extravagant is a subjective term and for pay it's relative to the location, position, experience, etc.
