Question

What do you guys think?

Do Actors and Professional Athletes get paid too much or maybe not enough?

Answer 1

I think that popular actors and athletes get paid too much and the aspiring ones don't get paid enough. The attention and fans should be plenty pay. I don't believe that you should be paid a million dollars for kicking a field goal. I do however believe actors should be paid more than athletes because you don't have mandatory acting classes where you act for a whole hour every day or major after school clubs that go on for hours starting in elementary/middle school. Athletics clubs and P.E. start suder early however. It's harder to act than to do football/soccer/etc. This is my personal opinion.

Answer 2

I think too much just because they're getting payed for things that're child's play

A hundred million bucks to throw a baseball? 50 million to read a few lines?
That's just my personal opinion tho.

Answer 3

Not that they /shouldn't/ get paid a large amount, just not nearly that much. The fact that there are athletes getting paid in the billions make it so that many children think that they can make it to the big leagues and get rich instead of actually doing mathematics or such.

Answer 4

It is not really about child's play!
the issue is about over exaggerating in paying those celebrities

Answer 5

Honestly Acting isn't easy, or child's play. You have to actually sell it. Throwing things? Done once you hit like, 5 months old though

Answer 6

In the end though, if they've been working hard for the money they probably deserve most of that. But honestly, if you're not going to do something worthwhile with some of it I think it's a waste. Why give Kim Kardashian another 5 million when we could be stopping world hunger? Buying clothes and homes for the homeless and poverty struck. Really, I think that if they're not actually quality people they shouldn't be paid that much.

Answer 7

My apologies for getting a bit off the subject and getting really personal opinion-y though.

Answer 8

Who said it is easy! it is a hard work to do of course
so the problem is only in my opinion the hefty amount of money
there should be some maximum!
another problem is the press and how they exaggerate about actors and athletes
some actors are famous in a ridiculous way and get paid big money because of that
so sometimes really TV makes the difference!
there are many celebrities that don't really perform at the biggest levels but they are still
considered very professional. in comparison, you could find actors who are really experienced and they don't get that much attention.

Answer 9

Exactly!

Answer 10

I think, you and I agree on this topic lol

Answer 11

Haha, yeah

Answer 12

Acting isn't easy, doing sports isn't easy, BUT SERIOUSLY WHAT DID KIM KARSASHIAN DO TO DESERVE HER FANCY HOME AND TV SHOW AND ALL?

Answer 13

I think it is easy if you the hard work is easy.

Answer 14

and that they get payed to much

Answer 15

think*

Answer 16

It's not work if you enjoy your job. Honestly, there are people out there who's be glad to just have the chance to act on a big screen or go out into the big world and play one of those games that everyone sees

Answer 17

I think that you shouldn't be paid an infinite amount of money for being ok but popular.

Answer 18

Way too much
