You're doing it all wrong.

You can't compare the salary of the top 15-20 actors with the salary of the average layman. To get a proper picture you have to compare the salary of the top actors with the top businessmen, CEO's, athletes, artists etc.

Anybody whose at the top of his profession will earn big money. A top businessman will earn 10 times what a top actor would. CEO's, artistes and athletes will earn in the same range.

The flip side is an entry level business major will earn much more than a junior artiste in films. Acting was and still is the lowest paying job in the world. Many well known junior artistes die without a cent to their name.

i agree and it is very sad

wish there was a more even distribution since film industry is thriving

Here in US, for example
CEO earns about $250K-500K, VP earns may 200K, team leader 150K, junior employees, 60-120K. and temps at least 50. These are of course rough estimates depends on company size also.


In film industry it is not like that.

rather than giving 30 Cr to top star, give him 1 Cr, rest of the money can support 600 temps or 100 junior artist families living comfortably and stars will not get any poorer.
or make ticket price cheaper so more people can watch movie

Same thing applies to Hollywood. You got hoes like Beyonce making six figures for an hour of 'bump&grind' like W*F?!

To people like us yes it is obvious their salaries seem way overpaid, but, when you consider the amount of $$ they generate in, it makes sense. Millions, sometimes billions, know their existence and shell out their few bucks for a song, a movie, concert, product, etc. When you multiply those few bucks by the millions- you get that huge "overpaid" number.

Eg:

Lady Gaga's concert grossed $200 million, her records sold 25 million copies, magazine covers, etc... Her brand probably grossed $1 billion so her $90 million salary makes sense.

Celebrities make money for the people that pay them. A producer would not pay DP the big bucks if he didn't think that employing her would make him richer. It's his risk, therefore it's his right to decide how to pay his employees. And she has ever right to demand of him what the market will bear.
