Getting a big paycheque requires more than just excellent skills. It requires attributes like ambition, self-promotion, greed, social networking, negotiation... the list goes on and on. I'm sure that there are a lot of very skilled people who just aren't interested in fame and glory, or who don't have the skills needed to avoid being exploited by agents or employers.
So the highest-paid professionals might be the best at this broader skill set, just not the best at their specific craft. The two aren't necessarily exclusive, but I think they often are.
