Because there is no moral justification or sane socioeconomic argument or justification for it.
There isn't any work where earning an average of 500k per year is deserved, especially as doctors, top intellectuals and other crucial or specialist work only hits around the 150k mark. 250k tops.
The people with over 500k are simply exploiting others for the money, since that money could easily be used to hire many more workers, fund research, apprenticeships, pay others a higher salary, and list of many other things.
What does, lets say, the Director of the BBC do, which earns over 800k, while the Prime Minister, Specialist Doctors, Head of the Ministry of Defense, Police Chiefs (many others) earn between 150-200k ? It is simple exploitation.
What could he do for 800k, which 40 people earning 20k couldn't do?
No one deserves that sort of wage for their work, year in, year out.

Unless we'd reinvent it. Money was originally invented to show off wealth, something that's kind of human.
