Put that one to bed. Ford CEO makes $21,000,000/Yr. Ford makes around 6,500,000 vehicles. So that wage amounts to about $3.25 per vehicle.

CEO wage has relatively small impact on auto cost. Unit cost is a function of Labor, Materials and overhead. CEO salary is a very small part of overhead.
A basic understanding of economics and finance and some posters would not make the silly comments they make.
