Not only will this NOT raise wages for workers (for obvious reasons – you can't pay janitors, low skilled employees, nor replaceable employees half a million per year, if you want to stay in business), it will also create a system that ends up either automating or outsourcing the work force (and in turn hurting those same people that want this to happen).
This is totally self-destructive and counter-productive, and an example of a group of people with no real experience + absolute bad judgment attempting to force their ill conceived notions on anyone they think is preventing them from reaching the happiness they are entitled to (all without doing the hard work).
If you want to get paid well, take the chance and start your own business, or buy shares in an existing enterprise. Or have the ability to be skillful and in high demand.
Schwan was paid 261 times as much as Roche's lowest paid worker in 2012, according to a study by employee group Travail.Suisse.
Perhaps Schwan created 261 times more value for the company than the lowest paid employee.
Sorry, I didn't read that correctly. I got the impression somewhere along the way that the people in companies that are are doing the hard work and adding real value are the same ones who are paid insufficiently to start families and get ahead in their lives. It is middle and upper management that can be trimmed without worrying too much about a company's bottom line.
If that was even remotely true, than those poor, overworked, and abused family men could just get management jobs... Do less work and get paid more! Problem solved.
Oh come on! Like if we had the ability to automate this sort of jobs we wouldn't have done it already. And outsourcing it's already done almost everywhere by now. Please, get a grip.

Or perhaps people who decide how much Schwan was offered have incentives other than how much money he'd provide for the company.

It is more than remotely true; it's manifestly true. As Reagan should have said, management is not the solution; it's often the problem.
