No, I don't take issue with that. If someone has an idea or a bestselling product, I have no problem with that. It doesn't hurt society in itself. Only if this person in some way harms society, you're spot on. To take the lazy route, something like Bill Gates vs Dick Cheney, with Cheney walking over corpses and sending people to their doom to make his fortune.
