That doesn't pass the sniff test.

Amazon allegedly has about 1.6 million employees. Assuming that the "executive" class is a trivially small number of them, and that the average employee works say 2,000 hours per year, you're suggesting that the cost to Amazon of paying those executives is somewhere between $960B and $3.2T per year.

The high end of that estimate is about one fifth of the total earned income for the entire U.S. economy.
