I don't think "no one is being forced to do anything here" is justification for the unprecedented inequality and the existence of billionaires.

Neumann built (or faked if you prefer) something and someone else saw it and decided they wanted him to have 1.7bn in exchange for it

I don’t see how anyone else’s net worth is at play here

As I said elsewhere, it ultimately affects our pension pots. The "someone" you mention are the executives who take risks at the shareholders expense.
