This is exactly what happens. It's also why CEOs buy other firms even though research shows the majority of takeovers fail. Just pick up any management book in the last 20 years.

There's a clear correlation between org size and CEO pay, even when not in the company's interests. Some CEOs and managers also love the power. Politics is also at work.

I think you’re confusing takeovers with mergers/acquisitions

Does a CEO get paid more than the sum of both CEOs pre merger?
