It should be a shift swap. He works as a barista for barista pay and the person he takes the shift from should be CEO for a day for CEO pay.

>Maybe then both parties will come to realize whether or not the 3 orders of magnitude difference in pay is warranted.

Do you really think that baristas should be paid $115k daily? Or that CEOs should be paid minimum wage?

I'm saying if the CEO wants to work as a barista then they should find a barista that wants to see what the CEO job is like and swap jobs and pay for a day. I doubt either party will be particularly good at the other person's job, but that's not really the point of the exercise. Both would get a glimpse of the other person's working life.
