A. Does something that creates value for people (ie people are willing to pay to see matches, buy shirts, eat and drink expensive beer and hot dogs at the stadium, buy sportswear or drinks or whatever he or his team has advertising/endorsement agreements with, taxes for the government and a long list of etc)
Very important, people do this of their OWN FREE WILL, no one is forcing you to go to his match, there is no iron soviet boot forcing you to buy the shirt, no african mugabe-style dictatorship forcing kids to buy his sport shoes.
B. The value generated from these exchanges and transactions gives hundreds, maybe thousands of people jobs and creates multiple sources of income across the board in all industries involved in organizing and providing products and services related to liverpool/football/portugal's national team, etc
C. Out of all that value that has been created, which is so great that it's hard to even calculate objectively, even if Diogo is to become disgustingly rich with it, what he keeps is merely a small percentage of the overall wealth he created for society as a whole.
That's what the free market is all about, yeah sure people like Bezos or Musk are rich as fuck, but the wealth they have is barely a small fraction of the overall value their companies have created for society as a whole.
Repeat the cycle of wealth creation enough times and even if you end up with a very unequal society, the spillover wealth will make even the poorest man x10 richer, that's literally how the modern world with all its advantages, long life expectancy, technology, healthcare innovations was created.
So yeah, this guy in his "idiot car doing dumb shit" did have a lot of worth.
