Can you translate this Korean sentence into English?
I'm reading a paragraph about happiness, and i saw a sentence as follows:
"굴지의 기업 총수라고 해서 특별히 더 행복해 보이지 않는 것만 보더라도 그 사실을 잘 알 수 있다"
This sentence is difficult for me to understand because of the phrase "라고 해서 특별히 더 행복해 보이지 않는 것만 보더라도". Can you help me to translate it into English? Thank!

It's a difficult sentence, and the context isn't clear, but I shall try.
"굴지의 기업 총수라고 해서" = as a leading company CEO (or something like, "it being the case that he is a leading company CEO")
"특별히 더 행복해 보이지 않는 것만 보더라도" = just seeing that he doesn't appear to be especially more happy
"그 사실을 잘 알 수 있다" = you can know what is involved (or the truth that is involved)
So observing that he doesn't seem particularly happy, even though he is a prominent company CEO, something must be wrong.

Simply, it means, 특별히 더 행복하지 않다.
"특별히 더 행복해보이지 않는 것만보더라도",
Here, "....만 보더라도" = 다른것(증거)도 있는데 이것만으로도.
We do have more other evidences,
but only from this fact(굴지의 기업총수인데 특별히 더 행복해보이지 않는것).. bla-bla-bla
He doesn't looks more happier than somebody else because he is (xxxxx),
From this fact, we can understood (realized) that (xxxx something truth? )
A verbose representation....
