Yes, they are taking on more risk.  Senior stakeholders have to make way more difficult decisions than the average worker.  That is just a flat-out fact.  

Bill Gates was a college dropout and started a bunch of businesses, how was that not risky?  Elon putting his money into a bunch of start-ups, how is that not risk?  

At the end of the day, nothing is free.  And anybody who thinks senior stakeholders have less hours, stress and responsibility are absolutely ****ing clueless.    

No one is saying anything is free.

But you seem to think that the universe just granted people money for working hard. 

I also think it's a bit hypocritical to talk about risk, when that suggests that there is some kind of element out of their control. Which you deride when people talk about things being out of their control when it comes to poorer people.  

Specifically talking about Bill Gates and Elon Musk today. If every single one of their businesses went down right now, do you honestly think they would be penniless and on the street?
