Have you met Andy Jassy? I have, and can say that the guy is a complete boss. I have no hesitation in saying that he would certainly create that much value. The idea that you can just get someone else to do what he does is patently ridiculous. That's like saying "Why should we pay for Lebron? My cousin is pretty good at basketball and would be a lot cheaper".
Secondly why do you think he isn't actually producing/outputting anything? Just because you may not understand what a CEO does, doesn't mean he doesn't do anything. The guy certainly produces outcomes (after all, he grew AWS into a billion-revenue company faster than anyone else has ever accomplished that task as one simple example).
Finally, the guy is already a billionaire because he's been with Jeff Bezos since the very early days of Amazon. If you want to retain someone like that the compensation is going to be high.
