CEOs do very little? Who conceived of the company, business or product?  Who got it off the ground?  Who worked longer hours than rank-and-file workers protected with caps like 37.5 hours per week, who could go much longer, on evenings and weekends?  Who assumed most of the risk when the company was small or not widespread and not making money?
Capitalism is PROPERLY explained here.

Yikes. That video severely undermines your points because it relies on several logical fallacies (particularly a strawman) to make its arguments.

Regarding your comment itself: you confuse CEOs with entrepreneurs or founders, which are not automatically the same. The CEO is hired by the board of directors, who are in-turn elected by the shareholders; that's it. To assume the CEO is necessarily the founder is like mistaking the pope for Jesus.
Who conceived of the company/business?
Frustrated/inconvenienced people frequently devise their own solutions; entrepreneurs are a small subset that choose to charge for their solution.
Who conceives of the product?
Designers/inventors/engineers do and are frequently not CEOs.
Who got it off the ground?
"Off the ground" is equivocal; this point seems void for vagueness.
Who worked longer hours...weekends?
This question seems loaded with presuppositions, but let's put that aside for now. First of all, don't pretend CEOs universally put in long hours. Second, there's a huge difference between an employee told they'll be fired if they don't work 80+ hours and a founder who chooses to donate more of their life to promote their business. If the founders believe in the cause that much, then their volunteering is its own reward, not a justification for endless extracting excess value from the labor of others once the firm is finally successful.
Who assumed most of the risk... not making money? 
The financial risk is assumed by whoever's putting in the money, which, again, is not necesarily the CEO. Venture capitalists or angel investors are making the biggest gamble because it's their money that's being spent yet they're not directly driving the company.

In summary, please shore up your understanding of fallacies so you can make better arguments. Also, I strongly suggest you compare and contrast the terms CEO, founder, inventor, and angel investor to better understand how they are distinct from one another.
