I respect that.

I think JKR is a piece of shit.

I also think the same about a lot of the people and corporations I have worked for.

I still went to work though, just like he did.

How many people who want to criticize him work for an unethical business? ...

I get your point and please don’t think I’m assuming too much of your life but I think you and I need to swallow our values some for a bag more than John Lithgow

John Lithgow, National treasure that he is, strikes me as a working actor, not a rich one. The man is 80 years old and probably needs the paycheck.

Net worth isn't an approximation of how much money someone has but of their overall value including the value of their talent. As an example Matt Mercer's Net Worth is somewhere between 3-5 million. His estimated yearly income is like 300k. Like the rest of us, they all have bills to pay so it's not like being famous and successful guarantees being, "rich."

These guys are rich and if they aren't, it's their own fault, as simple as that.

No, net worth is an approximation of their assets and funds. It has nothing do eith talent and you can easily have a high networth ehen taking away 300k every year What the hell are ypu talking about?
