Work life is quite a lot different for a working-stiff than it is for a CEO. In large part, their company is an extension of themselves. Work whatever hours you want to. Private plane to take you wherever you want to go for free, if you can come up with a work-related excuse to go there (with no need to justify not coming back for weeks). Multiple folks acting more-or-less as your personal assistants. An office bigger than your house, filled with anything you want in it, on the company's dime. A big pool of cash you can order the company to throw at whatever interests you. etc.

I doubt he cares that much about the company paying for things. Once you hit 10B+, all of that stuff is just noise.

In my experience of CEO's they actually do care deeply about not paying for anything if the company can pay.

Based on this description, you could say that what the CEO does in no way resembles what real work looks like for 90% of the population. Which I think is true. It's a pity they make so much more than people who do actual work.

I’d wager you can say this about most jobs. The anomaly is butt-in-seats office jobs.
