In recent years, much public attention has been devoted to the existence of pay discrepancies between men and women at the upper end of the income scale. For example, there has been considerable discussion of the ‘Hollywood gender pay gap’. We can refer to such discrepancies as cases of millionaire inequality. These cases generate conflicting intuitions. On the one hand, the unequal remuneration involved looks like a troubling case of gender injustice. On the other, it’s natural to feel uneasy when confronted with the suggestion that multi-millionaires are somehow being paid inadequately. In this paper, we consider two arguments for rectifying millionaire inequality, clarifying their appeal but also identifying the obstacles that each will have to surmount in order to succeed.

近年来，在收入规模上端的男女薪酬差距的存在引起了公众的广泛关注。例如，已经对“好莱坞性别薪酬差距”进行了大量讨论。我们可以将这种差异称为百万富翁不平等的情况。这些情况会产生相互矛盾的直觉。一方面，所涉及的不平等报酬看起来像是一个令人不安的性别不公正案例。另一方面，当面对百万富翁不知何故获得的报酬不足的建议时，自然会感到不安。在本文中，我们考虑了纠正百万富翁不平等的两个论点，阐明了它们的吸引力，同时也确定了每个人要想成功必须克服的障碍。
