I'm rather fed up by the idea that because a business is profitable that the owners are entitled to treat their workforce like crap.That anything goes in the pursuit of profit.Once you start thinking that it's a short step to treating those who work for you badly.
It's a mistake because you eventually end up with a workforce that doesn't trust you,will not put themselves out to work harder than they do already or to work above and beyond for the company.But of course why worry?There are more where they came from.

Also how many on that list actually earned the money.How many just inherited it?
According to the Sunday Times, under 25% is 'inherited'.
