Yeah, I never saw this either. Also even if true, $17.5m/yr is still not "the highest paid", but it's still a ton and $1.5m/yr more than the current #2.

Except in your analogy it would be like you sucking at your job in 2021 because your employer won't guarantee what your raise is going to be in 2023 right now, and then wondering why you're not being given a 5 year guarantee of huge raises based around your performance in 2020 while ignoring you sucking in 2021.
