It's a bit of both. No-one is working and getting paid before someone takes a risk makes and investment to start a business (leaving aside people who only use other people's money to get started). People who start businesses deserve a significant risk/reward motivation. I have no problem if people get stinking rich from their business investments, up to one
million billion dollars.
Once they get the ball rolling, though, they absolutely build the business with their workers, without whom they wouldn't have a sustainable business. Even to get the ball the rolling they are benefiting from an education system, infrastructure, government grants and incentives, etc. It should be a no-brainer to share the success of the company with its employees and the society that gave it the environment to grow in.
