7. The lawyer that saved the company $10m...
...likely used loopholes to do it -- i.e. took advantage of inherently unfair laws.

The hedge fund manager who makes his client $100m likely used unfair practices to do so.

The property developer put $50m of capital raised through others -- don't worry, they didn't risk their own fancy homes.

And CEOs as often get $5m, or $50m in stock after they've run a company into the ground.

The thing is, when the whole game is rigged, the rosy arguments you put forward here no longer resonate in any positive way.

We no longer reward people for true creativity and solid contributions IMO. Rather, we reward them for being ruthless money grubbing bastards.
