So you’re saying the rich have much less to gain through hard work and shouldn’t be incentivized?

There’s probably a lot more of a self actualization and entertainment component to it at that level.

Isn't that a given? The idle rich as a class has been a thing for a long time. Rich people do not generally work shitty dead end jobs, as a general rule.

For some reason companies still agree to pay huge bonuses to their (already rich) executives to incentivize them working more/better.
