Ha! Then consider this, adsense earners have the potential to create unlimited number of websites while execs & lawyers have only one source of income. Multiple sources of income = more money. Sure it requires ingenuity & initial effort.
You are so right. Unlimited sources of income is the internet. execs and CEOs are limited. Albeit they can reach their status faster by just getting the job, they are still limited in that respect. I think adsense millioniares work harder than CEOs of fortune 500 companies. That's my opinion.... Although much of the work could merely be confined to simply figuring out what works, what doesn't, tweaking things, then creating content. They (adsense,affiliate etc, Millionaires) can sit back for a while... but most just keep going and going by making more sites.
