It's up to debate if companies like Microsoft, Apple, AirBnB, Facebook or Uber "rightfully" earned their money - or if they did so by blatantly ignoring or skirting the laws for a long time.

Note that all companies I mentioned have a history of getting fined for violating labor, anti-trust or data protection laws.
