But in comparison to CEO or senior executive salary, they are pretty small potatoes.

Depends on the company. I'm pretty certain that the vast majority of CEOs earn less than $370k per year. You have to be CEO of at least a medium size company to earn the big bucks, and the majority of companies in the USA have fewer than 100 employees. Businesses defined as "small businesses" make up well over 99% of all US businesses (by number), and the average small business employs fewer than 20 people and has way less than $1 million turnover p.a. so the CEO is unlikely to be paid a great deal.

states that the average CEO salary is $155,342, but other sites have wildly different figures, probably depends what size of company they are looking at.

Besides, your statement is in any case irrelevant. I could as well state that in comparison to an oil sheik, the salary of a CEO is pretty small potatoes.
