My extreme opinion (probably will cop a lot of shit for this, but here goes):
Nobody deserves extra money that could've been better spent instead for the improvement of the well-being of less fortunate. Yes, doctors and others who do great services deserve to get paid handsomely and satisfactorily, but that doesn't mean anyone deserves many millions or billions of dollars.
But putting doctors and such aside, a lot of rich people are rich just because they were born in the right families. They don't have to work as hard as the poor and middle class and yet have much more money.
That the rich are capable or lucky enough to possess lots of money does not mean they earned every single penny of it. Nobody truly earns millions and billions of dollars.
