Why? CEO’s like all public company officers are appointed by it’s board of directors.
If the CEO doesn’t perform they are replaced.
The CEO’s decisions have a much greater impact on the company’s success than a low level employee. Thus, the CEO is often compensated according to the impact they make. This compensation can take the form of stock(RSU’s), bonuses, and salary.

I disagree. The larger the company, the larger the compensation that goes to management. CEO and other officer decision’s have a major impact on a company’s future success.
So they are compensated accordingly.
