The culture of people in a position of power (specifically, in this instance, bargaining power) expecting to earn something close to the amount of money they make for a company is toxic, with a range of vastly negative side-effects, and ethically questionable at best.
To put it another way, it's not a question of 'a maximum amount that people are allowed to earn in a year' - what you mean is surely 'should there be a maximum amount that people are allowed to BE PAID in a year?'
There is a maximum amount that people can EARN, in the sense of doing enough work or having enough talent to be paid that sort of quantity.
