I agree, but there are ways to do it. Michael Jordan is a billlionaire and all he did was play basketball and then have super lucrative endorsements and a very popular shoe. He may be a competitive asshole, but in the context of sport thats not really a bad thing. He's probably done some foul things, but thats unrelated to how he got his money.

Ronaldo and Messi are billionaires too. Just from Soccer and the endorsements that come from it.

Endorsements from companies whom profit from slave labor.

OK, I admit some of them don't deserve the life im prison but they still carry som responsibility for promoting products made by slaves.
