I know several (low) millionaires and none of them exploited other people’s hard work. All of them are self-employed, and one of them is the single employee of their company.
Billionaires on the other hand. Yep, no way to get to a billion without heavy exploitation and sociopathic behavior.
You’ve started with the premise that making money is evil, and are working backward from there.
“Oh no, you invested in index funds!!!” - yeah, so does everybody via their 401k or pension.
“Oh no, the work you did had any negative impact at all!!!” - thats basically every job. Communist agitators pollute the environment by driving cars to protests, and vegans kill field mice in their fields of soybeans. There are plenty of ways to make money that make the world better on net.

“I’ve never exploited anyone!”
“Oh really, what do you do for a living?”
“Insurance defense lawyer.”
Heavy equipment operator is more likely

The monetary system is a miserable way to justify homelessness, neglect, and poverty, sure.
The fact that you can’t imagine a job that improves the lives if your friends and neighbors is kinda bleak.
You seem to be acting intentionally dense to avoid changing your mind, so I’m going to stop responding.
