Kinda. College players get nothing because there is regulation preventing them from being compensated.
Britney Spears situation is due to her being declared 'mentally and financially incompetent' so a fiduciary was placed over her to manage her money. There was contract stuff that locked her into doing business exclusively with certain people which was itself predatory but thats an interesting situation to look into if you ever want.

There is a Washington post article from 2014 that shows how out of whack America is vs any other country on pay ratio. For some companies the board members built them but for many its just a different sort of politics.
Predatory practices will always be a thing and I don't really have a solution to something so systemic, I just read that quote and it struck me that I have a problem in general with wealthy America. More than a few times I have really upset wealthy people voicing what I thought about the way they make their money (Usually people grabbing money as a board member for a non-profit.)
On the most basic level we pretend that as a society money is a reflection of contribution but I feel that society has gotten so twisted it really is just a game of making a different form of theft legal. Some of the stuff is complicated but some of it is very simple. The fact I am only allowed to choose 1 satellite internet/TV provider is just to eliminate the capitalistic mechanisms we pretend to embrace so a company can have higher profit margins. When that stuff is done with things that are absolute necessity's such as electricity it is very wrong.
