Had to read this twice. Brilliant. I’ve always thought that when wealthy people owned everything the only thing left were people’s minds and bodies. That’s really all it is. Can you imagine the high fiving in their hidden circle of “friends” (because they don’t have friends, just competition)?

Makes me feel really good that I get people’s admiration on and off the internet for free. No posturing necessary. Take that, you rat bastards.
So anyone successful in a larger sense, doesn't have friends, just 'competition'? That's a ridiculous statement that's about wish fulfillment, not reality. Successful people are often interested in the money, but a lot of them are also driven to DO MORE and stand out from the crowd. You're not in his head, and you have no idea what this head of a studio does or doesn't think. You also have no idea how he treats his family, friends and close associates. P.S. 'Internet admiration' is always one step removed from reality. You're placing yourself in a little pond, where you're comfortable. It's much braver to face the larger world than exist in your own silo.
If you’d like to lay roses at the feet of the ultra wealthy, you’re welcome to. I won’t join you.
How he treats his family is irrelevant and so is how hard you think he works. In what world is it actually conscionable that one person make tens of millions while they bargain to NOT pay other people? “But he’s a nice guy!” Okay…
And how is he DOING more? Another vacation home? Perhaps a modest sub zero fridge for the garage? Maybe giving his maid a day off in the summer? Rich people are not being rewarded for their work ethic. They are not doing more than the people making less. They are simply valued more by a company.
When someone making as much as he does, invests that money back into the people who are the real Atlases of his industry, he will have my respect.
Again, you're making MORE assumptions about what he does with his money and the type of personality he has. As for bargaining about how employees get paid; you'd do well to study economics. Also, if you think this one current head of a single studio, both created the existing system and is able to change it at will, you (again), know nothing about business and how markets work.
P.S. The Atlases of the industry are the people who create that industry and then provide the necessary guidance that keeps it functional. If you think running a major studio is an easy, low stress job, you (again), know nothing. Running a business is hard; the bigger the business, the more factors to juggle and the larger the stakes.
