what indicates a share holders wage in a company.

If after all the expenses and wages have been paid etc and profits are left what then indicates a shareholders wage.

I own 30% and they own 70%. does this then mean they get 70 and i get 30%???

or is the share hold in a company only to do with when the company gets sold?

A shareholder doesn't get wages from his shareholding. If the company makes a profit, he gets a paper increase in his stake in the company through the statement of shareholders funds. Some of those funds may be determined to be distributed to shareholders by the directors declaring a dividend. Then whatever the total dividend is, you would get 30% as a 30% shareholder.
The shareholding is also to do with voting rights and, if the company was sold, the return of your 30% stake in the net proceeds.
Shareholders may also be employees of the company (either as Directors or as non-directors) in which case they would normally receive a wage (salary) in addition to a share in the profits.
