Yes, but have you thought about the poor CEO's? These fines make it harder for Bezos to buy another yacht to take him to his yacht that tenders his main yacht.

These fines make it harder for Bezos

Truth is he doesn't even notice it. These fines are mere days, maybe a week's worth of income to people like him.

Furthermore, the wealthy don't take cash profits to buy things, they collateralize their wealth for loans to buy yachts.
