I have played Since Gamma and some people have more money than me....

The only way Frontier can make it fair is to give everyone the same rewards for CG's regardless of whether or not they participated/signed up for the CG.
They should also make it fair on everyone by only allowing people to progress in the game provided everyone who owns the game is signed in and playing.

It's clearly a joke, but it's only humorous because there ARE actually people like this.
Yes, that really sucks. I am 51 y.o. and I was finally able to buy my first Porsche 911 last year.
And there is a boy next door, who got his Porsche as a birthday gift when he was 21.
21 yr old with a Porsche?
You will have the last laugh - he won't see 22.
At the same time though, people keep trying/begging/forcing players into open, and giving them a little extra in their piggy bank might bring them into Open rather than sticking to solo so they never risk losing their ship to an unwinnable fight.
It's like real life. Don't be dumb, don't try to become rich working.
You need to get the proper information on when to show up at which deal.
The what an when are of the essence. Once you got the proper tip-off it's a no-brainer.

Bu, but, that's not fair...
At some point someone will decide that "they" haven't paid enough tax.
I just dont understand why FD increased the payout that massively. It seemed to work before, I was proud when I earned a Cobra as a newbie in 3301, I was extremely happy about my Python nine month later, I was greatly enthusiastic about my Conda in 3302. Now in LFT 133 I am thinking: "Oh, only 8 million, well, thats not much at tier 5". Which is absurd.
So why the sudden change? Making payout and ships costs irrelevant after RNGneers popped up? Prepping for bigger ships in advance of the Thargoid invasion?
Doesnt sound sensible to me.

Maybe they want the CG's to be a major attraction. They boost the payout so they are the best paying way to make credits. Then allow you to travel there once, and have your fleet of ships available to you, so you can go places and know there will be action, and the most important of all things, a payout.
Maybe they realized that the pay check is the best way to attract a crowd.

Sure it is, and no doubt the 100 000 Cr CGs were absurd as well ... but 300 Mil? That is way over the sensibility marker. If theres no special reason ...

ED has never been a risk-reward game. The most lucrative way to make money was also the lowest risk way to play the game (trading). Try again. It's essentially the OPPOSITE of risk-reward.
Pro tip: Don't worry about it. You too have plenty of ways to make $20 mill + per hour. The days of working months for a ship are long gone and thank god they are. It was an awful grind that I wouldn't wish on any new player. That grind is why so many people stopped playing the game in the first place. If you want to pay for your ships with the least lucrative ways, knock yourself out. If you want to make some money, the methods are all well known. Whining about it is a bad look. You make your own choices. Now live with them.

I'm afraid that you are the one failing to grasp an obvious point:
We all have access to the same opportunities in the Elite universe. To be rich, or not to be rich, is a choice we all make individually. I choose to be moderately wealthy (in the grand scheme of things), but if I'd chosen only to focus on building wealth over my 1500 hours of game time I'd be fabulously wealthy; I chose not to, and that's that.
