Behind the financial maneuvering at Hostess

I'm going to use just 'back of napkin' numbers to make the outcomes easier to compare and for each I'll round in ways that I assume (but might be wrong about) being more fair.

  800,000,000 : Top investment firm guy
  200,000,000 : Some random high investment firm guy?
  ___,_50,000 : Lets call this 'middle class' in a small town
  ___,_20,000 : Hourly worker: $10 / hour * 40 hours * 50 weeks

Is it really possible for any person to be worth 10000 or more times some random other person? That disparity is ludicrous and in my opinion practically slavery.

How many $10 hour workers without a financial education do you need to hire to effectively handle investments?
