Well they don’t earn that money from exploiting others but from being exploited.
Especially athletes.
They destroy their bodies and sometimes their minds too.
As for Celebrities like actors and musicians/singers. I think there is a fair bit of exploitation of them too. Especially young women and young men.
If a company wants to pay an actor 5 million to be in a movie, they are paying for the talent, the risk to the actor, and the advertising that comes with that actors name.
That honestly seems fair. I just wish the amount that producers spend on male actors wasn’t so egregiously higher than female actors.
At least these people did something real to earn that money. Showed up to sets. Long days in rough conditions. Or went on concert tours. Traveled and lived in hotels and trailers for months.
No.
Why? Why do they deserve such huge salaries? Is the work they do of that much more value than, say, a beekeeper barely scrapimg by?

They didn’t make it from stealing from others.
