"According to a new Guardian report, CEO pay rose dramatically in 2025, increasing about 20 times faster than worker wages, highlighting growing income inequality. While executive compensation surged, real wages for workers declined by 12% since 2019 when adjusted for inflation. The wealth of billionaires also reached record highs, further widening the gap between top earners and average workers."

this doesn't compute well : there are 3600 seconds in an hour, which would make 18 Millions in 2 hours...

2,500$ per minute (not second) would make 300,000 for 2 hours
