Are you talking about Gravity Payments and its CEO, Dan Price? Sorry to break the fairy tale but it has been shown that he is some weird, creepy guy who ran his team like a cult and accused of sexual allegations. He resigned over a year ago. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/aug/18/dan-price-resigns-ceo-gravity-payments

Interesting. Thanks for sharing, I had no idea. I only checked wiki, but I see that the company is still doing well and has continued to pay it's staff well through 2023 (wiki link).

There's a handful of ethical companies and does not trade as public or private entity, so they're not beholden to shareholders, but we wouldn't hear about them often. Mondragon is a successful co-operative and worker federation company in Spain.
