His invention my ass. As an army-of-one, I can assure you he would have accomplished exactly NOTHING. You would never have heard of him, and you wouldn't see GoPro 4 Black's on store shelves, and he'd be poor.I'll be the first to trash CEOs, but I'll say it again, this whole company is based on HIS invention, so out of all the CEOs out there he fucking deserves to get some huge income inequality between himself and his workers.
The GoPro exists because of the hard work of everyone in that company, or they wouldn't be on the payroll in the first place. None of these CEOs are mountains onto themselves, and while certainly some people can do the same job that might take five others, he isn't doing the work of 500 people to deserve 500 times the average employees wages.
