How Come I'm Not Getting Paid What I'm Worth?

We may believe we are not "getting paid what we are worth". As one lawyer said in a book on self-advocating, if the average housewife could only advocate the true value she brings to her family, by itemizing various matters, it would be worth $100,000 dollars. Tony Robbins, by the way, has said that people buy FEELINGS, not products or things: "People Buy Feelings, Not Things": https://youtu.be/1iRUJv6knQk Yet, some are paid handsomely in dollars, while others' pay seems to be "Thank you, you made my day", or, "You understand me better than I understand myself or my wife understands me". So why, then, do some people get paid a lot of money for delivering a top product, and others receive zero, except for feelings such as "self-satisfaction" in "doing a good job", or "being helpful", or being "kind" or "impactful"? Suppose kindness is a feeling we can bring to others, or insightfulness, or uplifting. Why are these feelings not bringing in dollars, while the feelings that come from a car or a house or a great new phone, or from top repair of our air conditioning or plumbing, or from surgery, bringing great pay to the providers of these beneficial "feelings"? We might consider Grandmother Moses, for instance. Many do not realize that painting came late in her life, as shown in this excellent video: "Grandma Moses - STORYTIME! Never too old to learn how to paint." https://youtu.be/oKIWL-21cbw It was far more than her paintings that helped make her a household name, and which brought in money, late in life, also, making her a millionaire. Similarly, Greta Garbo was once cutting hair for a living, in Eastern Europe, and might have done so until old age, when one day, an American man came into the shop, asked for a haircut, and told her she was beautiful, something no one else had ever said. Within a few short years, she was a Hollywood sensation. What did this man's words garner him? Likely, a Thank You, and a smile; no money at all, even though the words transformed her life to the tune of many millions of dollars. So why was he not "paid what he was worth", when a top real estate agent or top inventor of a useful tech item garners millions or billions in money, or the provider of high-end alcohol products also finds pay on top levels? Whereas a top Buddhist monk such as Ajahn Brahm, in Australia, lives in a cave at night, yet is so popular he is said to be the equivalent of a rock star, has said he would benefit be using a wig as a disguise, and cannot even go the restroom after a lecture, without people following him there, and his book signings go on for at least an hour, and when he lectures in prisons, the prison officials say that they only want him back, no one else, to lecture? That the prisoners who heard him speak, are far less likely to return to prison? Yet, his pay, per say, is basically zero, and he has been so unknown by certain people, that when traveling, he once faced the problem of not even showing up on any worldwide computer as a human being with an identity? Technically speaking, he did not exist, and again, his pay was zero. Also, technically speaking, the mother of former President Ronald Reagan, who used to help many a person, received no pay for it, and technically was jobless. Yes, classified as a "housewife", and with commensurate pay of low, low, low. Yet, her uplifting was the major reason, likely - for no monetary reward - which created Ronald Reagan, so well-loved by many. Others also, such as the actor Jim Carrey, were once "broke",and living (sleeping) in a car for a while: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/K-5YYO8cLdQ?feature=share Another video on Jim Carrey: "A Broken Genius - The Real Jim Carrey": https://youtu.be/vNm6t_eQYbA "Jim Carrey's powerful views on fame, authenticity, and creativity. The real Jim Carrey is not who we expect..." “I think everybody should get rich a
