My nephew built up an absolutely fearsome tutoring business while he was going to college, developed a $50K bank account, and darn near got himself into some tax trouble. He didn’t have a lick of free time, but he stuffed his bank account big time.
“Kutcher is a celebrated actor, married to Demi Moore—who is considerably his elder, and appears to have maybe the most fun of anyone in all of Hollywood.”

I see that as a different issue. I have never believed I was “too good” to do any kind of work. I have always believed in my ability to do more, to achieve more and have worked at that as well. Life has been good to me, but there is still nothing I think I am too good to do, I usually do it for my self these days and not for others.
When I think of someone that is “too good” to do some jobs, I think of people who did not have to work their way up and at the extreme some people seem to think they are too good to work at all.
One group I've had experience with seems to very often fit that description: Most Chinese adults of working age, male or female. And the kids study HARD, too. There are a billion Chinese -- no wonder they are kicking our butts in terms of economic growth. (Ok, granted, that's anecdotal evidence and not the only reason, but it is a big one, I'll wager.)
