I am not an oracle on wage differences but I do think sometimes we compartmentalize everyone rather than look at circumstances. Yes footballer wages are astronomical and defy belief but those wages are supported by advertising which itself is viable by those who follow the game. Conversely consider someone who starts something from scratch, works 18 hours a day for 30 years to pull it together and who now has a company employing 500 or 1000 or 10000 others earning decent money and turning a nice profit. Do you think they shouldn't get a decent bonus or extraordinary return for the hard work and dedication? I don't disagree with you in principle but I don't think everyone should be penalized for earning a seriously nice amount of money. Good on them.
