I don't think execs at bigger companies should be paid more because it's more complex, I think a big part of it is the pressure/stakes are higher because you have to answer to more employees/shareholders if you make the wrong decision.

In many cases their narcissistic personalities make this argument moot, but I wouldn't want to be responsible for decisions that affect the lives of thousands of employees.
