YOU, the CEO, didn't single-handedly increase profits by even a single percentage point. One employee out of 1 million, take your millionth of a cut of the profits, that's still $150K.

the CEO has quite a bit more influence over the company financials than ICs do, however good they are.

Good leaders are able to make other people more profitable. If someone was able to make 500k people more profitable that is worth a lot.
