"With a price of drug per year being twice the average income in the richest country in the world - that creates impossible situation by definition for half of its populace."
Even worse. There are a few gigantic outliers at the upper end of the scale. That means that the number of people below average income will be >50%. What you want to check against in such cases is the median (50:50 split by definition).
"Also value provided is not always correlated with value extracted"
That is exactly one of the main problems society is struggling with. How do we even measure value provided? It's a subjective measure to begin with. In the case of the hedge funds manager, it's probably net-negative for most people (but I'm sure her friends would disagree).
