Do billionaires deserve to be rich because they work harder than everyone else?

Do billionaires deserve to be rich because they work harder than everyone else?

No, but they deserve to be rich because they're giving an even greater value to the society. Consider this: they are managing their businesses much better than a communist government would. Would the Soviet Union be able to come up with things like IBM PC, iPhone, and Tesla? Nope.

Okay, there are some caveats, but the society has much bigger issues to resolve than to nitpick at billionaires like Bill Gates and Elon Musk.

Edit:
"Do those CEOs deserve to be richly rewarded as well?"
This is a complicated question, and it deserves quite a lot of detailed discussion. I have to go right now, but here is a pointer to a great call-in show, where similar questions are addressed:

Also use the stocks and shares where by of which is still going on manipulate the markets by supply and demand threads and hubs, this isi going on today, the system is flawed and until someone or governments especially the uk and the banks who destroyed the uk economy in 2007-08 by starting to tax healthy wealthy companies and the super rich and look at their books to give a fair decent job and living and give by tax to employ people of wich they can afford to do! This wheel of a scess pit of a system will continue!

  • Why does everyone hate me because I like Apple products? I recently bought the iPhone 5S and I have an old iPad and everyone is hating on me. Why is there so much hate? I have had both android products and apple products and they were both great for different things. When I look at comments everyone says that Apple is stupid and etc. Do people have enough arrogance to do that? I have no problem with android. Can't people understand that we but the phone that best fits our needs?
  • Why do so many people that own iPhones act like they are better than everyone else? Lately it seems like anytime I meet someone new, they make a point of mentioning the fact that they have an iphone, then talk about how great it is… All I asked was what time it was or if they knew when a baseball game was going to start. One person went so far as to say "if you had an iPhone you wouldn't have to ask."
  • Why do rich people hate it when you call them rich? I remember this one girl I new from school had a brand new iphone with an expensive case covered in jewelry. Someone said "Wow, you're really rich!" and she was offended.
  • On Temple Run 2, why do I have to swipe much harder? When I go to jump, slide, or go left and right, I seem to have to do it much harder, and other times it doesn't even register, so I get killed. It sucks. Could it be anything to do with the iPhone 3GS? The first Temple Run is great. I'm well disappointed with Temple Run 2 so far. Infinite thumbs down.
