Salaries, shares, bonuses, stock options, cryptocurrencies, financial situation, acidemic background, company research, millionaires, billionaires and trillions

When is it enough? I started having to think more and more about my financial expectations but there really is no limit on the floor and the ceiling of what's available in the different companies and countries. Why don't companies perform means assessments on their hires to see how much they are affording and or what their individual living situations are. It seems some companies and countries have figured out how to give their own citizens access to most of what life has to offer while making it really accessible and others not so much. But what I really want to know is with regards to salary setting and hiring graduates and long time workng professionals. If I work for myself and my clients and investors pay nicely and the earnings inflate to comfortable levels where I set my own hours and buy whatever I like and pay tax etc that's great. Then I also get situations where I'm stuck working for an employer where the salary is driven down below the buy side. But now it's almost impossible to negotiate the salary over a certain level call it less than six figures, times however many simultaneous jobs an Individual myself doesnt do concurrently. Then there's like ceos, ctos and a whole bunch of melleniums of c suite executives and company owners earning hundreds of thousands. Now if the company valuations of the 1000s and 100 of 1000s of companies are in the multi millions and the billions. Why is there not more liquid cash, in the financial market for people and individuals to use to buy assets? There's literally like four trillionaires and lots of billionaire companies but nothing on earth and in space except for maybe a few large skyscrapers, some rockets and a few superyachts cost anywhere near that. What the point of having so much Money? Maybe it's just third tier and first tier world comparison differences.
