The interesting question is whether there is a correlation between _how_ rich you can get in a country, compared to it's GDP / PPP.

I don't think you'll find a simple correlation if you compare those. Excluding countries that are rich in natural resources, there are some countries with very high GDP/PPP that have a comparatively high income equality / low CEO pay (Sweden / Denmark).
