| Porcupine_I said: 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. |
Plus to become a proffessional athelete, they had to become the best... which usually involves sacrificing your entire child hood.
And damn, it ain't fun being a celebrity everyone can recognize. You gotta stay inside and avoid people all the time, and you never know if your relationships are because people care for you, or because they want your money.
Heck, American Football players play for 3 1/2 years on average... and live 20-25 years less on average or so.
