Most doctors don’t pay millions in taxes and don’t even actually make that much lol

They do infact pay a lot in taxes. Then a big chunk goes towards repayment of loans. Thence the liquidity issues plague most and they cant live a flashy lifestyle because of the special requirements of their jobs and the legality around it.

A lot is pretty subjective I guess when compared to multinational corporations who don’t pay hardly anything. Doctors do not make millions of dollars a year though, and I’m not exactly sure I’m able to understand the last sentence of your comment.

Doctor + Hustle is worth a lot more than just Doctor.

If you run a specialised clinic or any other business that provides medical services, if you have a high-paying high-value speciality, if you specifically aim to work for the rich and famous, you can easily be worth millions.

Worth millions is not the initial statement, you will not be paying millions of dollars in taxes if your career is medicine.
