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.
Well I’m not saying the physical work is different than other labor jobs. Or even the mental.

Do I think athletes should be paid 5 million for a season. ?
No. But someone thinks they do.
The reason I don’t like billionaires is because of exploitation.
They are bad people causing harm.
I don’t think that’s true about athletes and celebrities.
I don’t like such extreme income inequality either. But I’m not going to lump athletes and celebrities in with unethical exploitive sociopaths just because they are paid high amounts.
Exploitation of others is the factor here. Not anything else.
