> "This large gap isn’t particularly surprising, given that San Francisco has the highest density of billionaires of any city in the world, with Silicon Valley known for its absurd CEO pay packages"

Given that the methodology was to compare wages for the 75th percentile vs. the 25th percentile, this just seems like a political potshot/non sequitur rather than an explanation for the wage gap. Billionaires are ~.01% of SF's population, and that won't meaningfully impact the wage gap between the 25th and 75th percentiles.
