Who is this kid being paid 31 million dollars?

its a conspiracy....

Oprah owns her own network. It's her property, so she is entitled to her profits. The network is her really, so I don't see it being the same as a CEO. It's like Turner Broadcasting. It was his creation, so he made the lion's share of the money. I've never questioned an owner's entitlement to his profits - he takes the risk. As to what fans pay for tickets - it's entirely voluntary. Watching sports isn't a right, it's entertainment. If the leagues make themselves too expensive, they won't have any fans.

I really should admit she made that as an employee of ABC TV. Her earnings today could be plus or minus.

Why is this so hard?

I corrected one minor element on Oprah.

Workers don't have a right to have their incomes compared to CEOs incomes. It is a false standard.
