Yet if a Doctor, Surgeon, Business owner, Lawyer, Plumber Electrician and/or virtually anyone else makes him/her self a hell of a good living, they are labeled as greedy, selfish, uncaring rip-off artists and charlatans.
But if a (truly) talented athlete or a silicon enhanced movie star signs a multi-million dollar contract the people rise up cheering and applauding.
Does this say anything about values?
I remember as a kid, reading editorials and sermons against greed and avarice when TED WILLIAMS signed a 4100,000 contract with the Red Sox.

No one pays to watch a doctor, surgeon, business owner, lawyer, plumber electrician and/or virtually anyone else do their work. People pay good money to watch baseball players do theirs.
