The author of this article strongly detests the fact that CEOs are getting treated like celebrities in America today. He believes that in the U.S., CEOs have recently began to flaunt their wealth and believes that this could be a cause of the high overpayment of many CEOs. He goes on to say that most Superstar CEOs will fail quite often because they do not focus on the company as CEOs have in the past and that they will jump from company to company to receive more money.
