If you grew it yourself, no one. But you miss a point: that $1000 already existed, you exchanged value (of something you worked for) of useful product (food) for unit of trade.

Did it exist before the seeds were planted, grown and harvested?

Did what exist? Wealth? Food? Wealth is something that is useful, and most of it needs work (food grows on it own) but needs work to plant, water, harvest, distribute etc.

The value. The asset that can be sold. That which you say the rich steal from workers. Did that exist before it is grown?

All value comes from natural resources and WORK put into it to shape the natural resource into something useful.

So billion dollars companies managed to exploit workers because they had a useful product. Product they traded for money. Product bought by those exploited workers...

And who built those products? The owners? the CEOs? Don't be an idiot, this is such simple logic to understand, yet for some reason you either don't see it or play dumb.
