Wealth is power. If you allow a tiny sliver of society to amass society warping levels of it, this is the outcome. There need to be limits and controls, or this will always happen.

We need to recognize that janitors are also integral and valuable. An MBA large company well paid executive doesn't provide value to society in general, only private shareholders.

Our society's values and incentives are perverse and self-destructive.
