In fairness, most start up business owners pay themselves more than $1 a year. They pay themselves enough to live on, comfortably but not richly. There's little benefit to a company to have a boss who is starving to death or unable to pay his heating bills.

The cases where you hear about a CEO getting $1 a year are where the CEO is already rich and will get amply rewarded through gains in his shares or options, such as when Steve Jobs was brought back to Apple.
