See also the CorruptPolitician and the MorallyBankruptBanker (who helps hide ill-gotten gains in a secret SwissBankAccount), his drinking buddies, and the AmoralAttorney, a brigade of whom will be found on his payroll. A CCE will either be in regular contact with the local DiabolicalMastermind or (if particularly organised, competent, and disinterested in petty matters of legality) will be one himself. Compare GreedyJew and PointyHairedBoss. Contrast HonestCorporateExecutive, the CCE's natural enemy. But remember that sometimes, EvenEvilHasStandards (and/or [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Loved Ones]]), especially in a WhatYouAreInTheDark situation. In a work with a GreenAesop, this individual is usually an EcocidalAntagonist who runs some form of ToxicInc for selfish and greedy reasons, if any at all.

One of the more popular archetypes to overlap with the "corrupt CEO", especially since The80s, is the MadScientist.

* ''WebVideo/DrGlaucomflecken'' has two of them:
** Bartholomew Banks, the private equity investor who buys the hospital (and at least some of the physician practices), whose only [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2q3Ow1Ijjg goal]] is making the hospital more profitable by brutally cutting expenses, so that he can then sell the hospital for even more money than he paid for it.
** The Health Insurance Company CEO, whose business model consists of collecting premiums from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngSTY2SPwRk "flesh-covered bags of money"]] (also known as people), delaying and/or denying paying for actual medical expenses, and hoping that the customers die quickly, rather than from a prolonged (and therefore expensive) illness.
-->'''Health Insurance Company CEO''': We want as many healthy flash bags as possible, because they pay premiums and they don't use healthcare. Once those flesh bags are no longer healthy, they stop producing money, and they start taking it from us. So when healthy people die suddenly, that's a dream scenario for health insurance.

* ''[[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]]'' of all people became one in the TKO-era of WWE. Rock absolutely abuses the fact that he's part of the TKO board of directors to make the life of Wrestling/CodyRhodes hell in the build-up to ''Wrestling/WrestleMania XL'' and is willing to threat any wrestler and officials with the threat of firing if they don't play Rock's ball-game.
