​Anyone paying their top employees more than yourself?

As the title says, I feel like I may be overpaying my top two employees(I have 7), but I did what multiple people, books and advice have said to heart. Paying for top talent costs money. I’m just tired of working and the non stop grind for the past 10 years and still getting paid about 15k less than my top employee(72k. On one side yes im glad I don’t have to do everything they do. On the other side, when do I get to enjoy the fruits of my labors? Yes we are on an upward trend, but I guess I just need reassurance that it does get better.
