I think this may be slightly misleading because the owners of the team serve in many ways that a CEO does in a traditional company. And owners make literally billions off their teams.

> At least 44 NBA players are set to earn more than $30 million in salary for the 2023-24 season, according to ESPN, while only 36 S&P 500 CEOs earned more than $30 million in 2022, according to the AFL-CIO’s Executive Paywatch.

Looks like only one NBA GMs is paid over $10M.

After unionizing, players get half of profits while owners get the other half.

It's not even close.
