You are paid in proportion to the perceived value of your work. Not based on how hard you work: A handyman may work hard, but his work is easily replaceable so he will make less money than a lazy accountant.
The most valuable employees are the ones working on the biggest problems. The richest people are those who solve a problem for billions.
If you want money, stop chasing money. Look for big problems and come up with solutions. The market will reward you generously.
