The government employee at least earns their salary by actual labor.
Whereas anyone on the "top N richest" list is a parasite on all the people who produce wealth.

They may or may not do much useful - government tends to grow regardless of output, because it doesn't need to earn its money. All you know for sure is a government employee pays no taxes, and so contributes nothing to anything like roads, public services, etc etc, and takes taxes away from the people who are net contributors.
