No, they have not. I agree that, of course, supply and demand matter. What I don't agree with is your claim that "Value has little to do with it". Not to mention that "financiers" not producing "anything noticeable" isn't really relevant to anything.
If you want to find examples of situations where people's income is not dependent on the value they provide, the easiest direction to look is direct power, for example government power.
Surely the easiest would be to look at someone with measurable economic value that happens to be negative.
Also, if TheAncientGeek is a pure though concealed troll - as another recent comment would in fact suggest - then people should stop responding and just downvote.
I don't have an opinion on whether TheAncientGeek is a troll, but speaking generally, outed trolls are pretty harmless and can be countertrolled for fun.
