Your comment is making a lot of assumptions here, I barely know where to start.

aspiring to power and wealth

Bundling them together might not be necessary. I myself aspire to have (enough) wealth, like we all do. That doesn't mean I'm interested in power as well.

Aspiring to have wealth doesn't really mean you have to make it your sole purpose in life either.

Then you assume every CEO aspires to have wealth and power. Both. Not necessarily true. Just because you have your own business doesn't mean you aspire to have wealth, even. You could be running a laundromat or something making ends meet month by month, but you're happy with that, and you're the CEO. All possible and plausible. And you care for your employees.

Plenty of businesses/CEOs want to treat their employees well as well. Especially the small ones. They are still CEOs though.

You see where I'm getting at? Having the stamp of "CEO" I think is irrelevant. I think it's more about acquiring enough power through wealth that is the real danger. Now, mostly CEOs get to do that, but #notallCEOs. Definitely not the "vast majority".
