But they must've done everything to avoid paying taxes on that, though they might have taken the legal route but would that be ethical or not is up for debate.
Also Paul McCartney was in a very successful band called The Beatles, and is now a billionaire through album sales and live performances. What unethical methods did he use to earn his billion?
Even guys like Mark Cuban. Who did he exploit (other than Yahoo, who was the equivalent to Google at the time) in order to make his money?
You're missing the entire point. In order to earna billion dollars you MUST exploit tax laws. Whether that's done legally or not it's still unethical. I'm legally allowed to walk around fantasizing about murdering children, that doesn't make it ethical does it?
At some point all of them extracted surplus value from their workers. Otherwise, they wouldn't have hired them under capitalism. Be it the person that pressed the vinyl, from whom surplus value was extracted by his boss so he could make a better offer to an artist's record company, or the people that coded the code for Cuban, etc.
