There hasn’t been a Papal starship yet. I’m pretty sure he could Christen one, or delegate that authority to the bishop of the moon, an actual thing that technically exists.

Julian calendar? No that’s silly. New calendar, 13 months, each is 28 days. You get one intercalary day for New Year’s, and a bonus one following our existing leap year schedule

There are people taking in millions each year, not for doing the job of running a company, but for owning companies. There’s definitely overlap, but I’m not sure the two are the same list

Yeah that’s kind of my point, though. I agree Tim Cook doesn’t do the work of 1000 developers, but I would suggest he does work comparable to at least 1 developer.

A “list of the most egregiously overpaid people in the world” really should include people who get paid not for doing work, but just owning things. CEOs are certainly egregiously overpaid, but if someone gets paid 1m a year to be a CEO, and someone else gets paid 1m a year for simply owning a company, I would contend the owner is more overpaid than the CEO.
