> Do you believe that everyone who becomes wealthy by definition must have created value? And that everyone who creates value by definition becomes wealthy?

The latter, sadly, does not inherently hold true; many times people create value but do not manage to get any value for themselves. That situation has improved drastically, but I'd certainly love to see it improved even further.

For the former: ignoring theft and fraud, by definition they created value for someone, or they wouldn't have gotten paid. We can argue over whether we would prefer them to have created value in another way, but we don't get to choose that; that remains between them and whoever chose to give them money.

If you want to improve that situation to create value in ways you'd prefer, then I'd suggest working to ensure that good mechanisms exist to help people get value from activities you'd prefer to see rewarded, and try to get people to take advantage of them. For example, crowdfunding programs like Kickstarter enabled many creative people to benefit directly from the value they create. We could use a hundred more ideas as novel and useful as crowdfunding; that would help greatly.

Or, to put it another way, coming up with such an idea and implementing it would greatly amplify your own ability to create value, and in doing so it would allow you to create the kind of value you'd prefer.
