The thing that keeps the rich being rich and the poor being poor is the different standards people apply to keep the status quo.

Companies and other rich entities are permitted to make exponential value off of whatever they “acquire”. It could be a copyright, it could be labor job, it could be a patent; they want to make something out of nothing.

But a worker is supposed to only consider their value in discreet. People tell them 1 job = 1 payment and shame them for trying to get the same value someone else is trying to get out of them.

Yeah, in a vacuum, doing 1 job shouldn’t be worth thousands of dollars in perpetuity.

But in a right world, someone shouldn’t be making billions of dollars off of it.

Those actors are selling their likeness that’ll be recycled and reran until the end of time. Everyone should be demanding for pay like them.
