How many of those are on minimum wage?

Look at all the richest people in the US and see how many made it by creating production jobs in the US. Then go to China's richest list and compare.

We are moving to economies based on things with an imaginary value. This guy's worth is based on a sector of the West that produces little in the West and makes a fortune by doing that.
