if you look at the number of actors and players in the world, only a few of them earn that kind of money. most of them, especially actors struggle even to make a living with their acting job alone.
as for the rest, do they deserve it? Many Profi Athlethes ruin their bodies in few years of their lives, for our entertainment they need to provide for the future, because they can be active only a limited amount of time.
Actors? They get paid that much money because you can make even more money with them. if nobody wants to see them, they will not earn that much, simple as that. And again, some carreers are short, they would be foolish not to take what they can get.
do they need that much money? probably not. but there is no such thing as too much money.
if you don't want to support them, don't watch sports and don't watch TV or go to the Movies.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
