McDonald's sells 2.5B hamburgers a year.
The CEO:
$17,800,000 divided by 2,500,000,000 is $0.00712 per burger to pay the CEO's salary.
The crew members:
$35.6B divided by 2.5B is $14.24 per burger to pay the crew members' wages.
Sure that $35.6B (and $17.8M) is amortized over all food/drink items sold at McD's not just burgers and both numbers drop by at least an order of magnitude when all food/drink items sold are factored in.
But it does provide some idea how little the CEO's $17.8M salary affects the cost of a burger (any food/drink item) compared to the $35.6B wages of the crew members.
Might add just bumping the crew members' hourly rate by $1 to $13.81 costs McD's an additional $2.7B a year.
Increasing the crew members' hourly rate to $20 would cost McD's an additional $19.9B a year.

And if those number are correct if the CEO were to give up his entire salary that's a whole $13.32/year, $1.11/mo, $0.25/week, $0.006/hour extra for each employee.
