    If they make 360 times as much as the worker, then shouldn’t the picture show 1/361th of a pizza versus the other 360/361th?

      That’s not the intent of the picture. The intent is to show how bug of a difference 360x is.

      If it wanted to show how much of the metaphorical pizza a CEO takes, you would need to multiply that 360 by the amount of workers.

        Yeah but it doesn’t. It shows how much of a difference 359x is. It compares 1/360 with 359/360.

          That’s one use case of the pizza diagram yes.

          But if you compare the 1/360th slice of pizza to the whole pizza, you are getting a 360x comparison.

          What you are doing is compare 1/360th of pizza to 359/360 of pizza. But pizza diagrams have many viewpoints.
