lemme break this down. in our current society you get wealthy by owning stuff. Theres the owners and the workers. All billonaires own some thing and have people who work for them indrectly or directly. Jk Rowling, James dyson, paul mcartney etc all own something in which a worker reports too. Their money is a direct result not from the royalites of their invention but the fact that they are the top of their field. there are thousands of vaccums and billions of books . Mnay of whome have authoers and inverntors who pay bribes or kcikbacks to poltician to get in stores. Jk Rowling didnt get to the top becuase harrypotter is a good book. Its a story about damn wizards. There are hundreds and thousands of those.
This logic applies even in atheltic in the 100m something like 99% of the current top 20 fastest times are held by people who have doped before and been suspended. The only person who hasnt is take a guess Usain bolt. You think Usain bolt has never doped in his life? You think the very best of the very best got to their positon inspite of the greed of everyone aorund them. You cannot have the number two selling book behind the bible or the number one vaccum in the world without some corruption.
Last bit of example. Lets say you want people to buy your soda you ahve 10mil. your brother has 10mil . Both gotten after your dads passing an his life isnurance. theres a fixed number of buyers say 100. You both have a good tasting soda yours taste better and you give your employees health insurance 2 months payed vacation etc. your brother does too but his dirnk tastes bad. One day you notice his soda is half as much as yours. Your bleeding sales fast. you send a spy to figure out how hes doing it. Turns out hes removed the health insurance payed vaccation etc for his workers. in fact hes cut his workers down to half yours and is still doing the same output.
This is amazon. LITERALLY. prime week workers still get payed the same for that week. amazon does more sales than they do in their most active month. Bezos doesnt spread teh funds around. He stole the labour of his workers. Thats how they all get to billonaire status. You can invetn something and become a millonaire. To hit the billions you have to figure out how to take from others without them noticing. To the point where theyll come on reddit and defend you. I promise you when jk rowling harrypotter goes viral on tik tok or when her publicist gets her on a late ngiht show and tripple x's her book she knows she didnt do shii. She knows they deserve more and she doesnt know what to do with the 60million in her account. She chooses to accumulate. That is a billonaire. corrupt to the bone. Ik this cause i went to school with a lot of these nepo babies.
there is no non corrupt billonaire.

Hollywood famously not corrupt or harmful at all and I'm sure all the stage techs, book sellers, etc are also all rich from these people being so incredible right? They didn't get rich of the backs of others labor at all?
