start a company and pay your CEO less if you want. Sergey and Larry believe he should get 226M, are you saying they are misjudging the situation?

Typical libertarian viewpoint. By that logic everything a company does, every price and all current things going on in the job market are ok and what the invisible hand deems right and fair.

It's not about whether it makes sense to pay a CEO a lot, it's more about the disproportionate allocation of capital, and how it allows enough room for error that a CEO or exec could be outrageously overpaid and not harm them overall.
