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.
None of which qualifies as harder work than most jobs or explains how they earn many times the average person’s yearly salary for a fraction of the work.
Does a sportsball player destroy their body any more than a tradesman? How does throwing a ball equate to mining coal?
Actors aren’t being exploited any more than the average worker. Compared to, say, a local news reporter that is on television 5 days a week.
