Philosophical question: Is it wrong to be wealthy? Is it wrong to be wealthy acquired through unscrupulous and convoluted means?
Personal take: As mentioned earlier, there is nothing wrong in being wealthy, if those individuals have created companies, and offered meaningful products and services. At the same time, there needs to be control on wealth accumulation at least revolving around compensation, and valuation of companies, whether it were to be industrial organizations, academic institutions or any other sector. For example, the budget for University of Michigan is $5.7B, and the top 15 executives account for around $17 MM when there are around 50000 employees. Universities discuss about wealth gap, but here is what is happening with Universities as well.
This is one area where prudence should take over blame games; otherwise institutions and organizations that promote sustainability will be taking an unsustainable path.
