OK, but does that include Rowling's Harry Potter sales, or Persson selling Minecraft to Microsoft?

How about "someone is offering me a billion to take over the company I founded regardless of if I actually agree to sell"? Or worse, "someone wants to offer me a million for 0.1% of my shares, but if I sold all my shares the market price would crash by 95%, therefore I get all the blame for being rich with only a handful of the benefits"?
I appreciate there are other economic systems besides one-dollar-one-vote, and we may wish to make mega corporations more democratic and less plutocratic-authoritarian, but that kind of change deserves a book rather than a single comment.
