That's assuming that the CEO has anything to do with the growth in profits. Average US GDP looks to have grown by ~66% in the past decade. Do some spreadsheet shenanigans and it wouldn't take much to drastically outperform that number.

Who's to say that the various attempts to "chart a new course" and change business strategy for the shareholder's benefit during that time didn't actually make these corporations underperform vs locking the executives in the boardroom and cutting off all their decision making ability for the same time period?
