Sure but pointing out $350k executive salaries as somehow lavish is strange. That seems low for an executive at one of the most important (or at least, most viewed) websites on the planet.

$350k salaries _are_ lavish, though. It seems strange to me that people would argue otherwise.

Sundar Pichai gets ~$250M. Parag Agrawal gets something like $30M.

People working for them earn 100k+, Wikipedia has volunteers writhing the content for free.

If you want to compare it based on the people working for each company:

Parag has around 3900 employees. Wikipedia has around 550. Around 7x multiplier.

$30m / 7 = ~$4.3mil

Sundar has around 135k employees. 245x multiplier.

$250m / 245 = ~$1mil.

$350k seems like a steal no matter how you put it.
