CEO's and the corporations they run receive lots of money that is neither illegal nor market-based - they operate in an environment of profound government regulation, taxation, etc, which they try to affect by lobbying etc.  Further, many companies receive government contracts which are highly influenced by the political, not market process.  The confusion leftwingers have between the distinct concepts of "business" and capitalism is always amusing.  Eg, I was speaking with a liberal the other day who pointed out a number of companies who supported a regulation I opposed.  He couldn't grasp that the big players in an industry often support lots of regulation because it's another barrier that makes it more difficult for new competition to arise.  Also the biggest corporations are lap kitties for practically the whole leftwing agenda regarding business, including extremist implementations of anti-sexual harassment regimes, gay "partner" benefits, contributions to foundations which fund the worst leftwing political groups, and of course anti-white discrimination.
