You totally ignore the exploitation part...

You can't just "create wealth" like magic. You have to do something to build wealth. and for billions of dollars you either have to do a great deal of something or do it to an incredible degree more successfully than someone else. The question is are you going to screw over someone else (or even a large group of people) to make that happen in a society where the next biggest fish probably has little compunction about doing so.

Its a rhetorical and philosophical question really, but your answer that you can create wealth so you don't have to exploit anyone, isn't even a thoughtful attempt at an answer. The ideas don't even touch each other.
