Let's put that in perspective.. he gets paid $275 million for what?

a) curing cancer
b) solving world hunger
c) discovering efficient energy solutions
d) hitting balls and running around in circles

which one is the least productive and least deserving of $275m?

Vijay and Shashi.. haters..!!!! 😆😆😆😆

he provides entertainment.. the Yanks collectively drive in the largest crowds in baseball on a daily basis.. 45,000+ to every home game.. now that's something.. fans are paying for the lucrative salaries.. and as far as curing cancer goes.. let the professionals work on that..

It is just a reflection of the society we live in.

Ideally what you say is right - people who do the most productive or dangerous/risky jobs should get paid more but its not going to happen any time soon.

Forget Stars why do CEOs on Wall Street get paid in several hundred millions when the companies they manage is being run to the ground? ek haath se government bailout lo our doosri taraf se khude ke pocket baro - Life is not fair and we have to deal with it.

They say we get wiser as we get older but I think we just become cynics. The world is not the nice just happy place that our parents and elders had taught us about.

Salaries of anyone, including corporate executives, entertainers, professional athletes, are determined by the marketplace. The pay is set by demand and supply. In most cases, the number of players in a sport team is limited. So the team needs to hire more talented and worked players to increase the strength and enhance the possibility of winning the championship. As a result, team owners have to pay more money to professional athletes to attract them. The Owners themselves are probably making multiple times the salary of the entire team.
Making a doctor or firefighter earn as much as an entertainer or a sportsperson was a trial tried by all the East European Socialist countries post WW2. We saw what happened to that grand socialist, egalitarian dream.

true👏

Plus, its not we are the ones paying their salaries. We go to their games (sports) or see movies(actors) is only time we are spending our hard earn money. Then there are some who just watch at home, you tube, etc. so its the sponsors, etc who are paying the bills and taking the risks. so the ones who draw the most crowds in either jobs IMO deserve what they are getting paid.

so true otherwise policeman are those in the army, navy, etc be paid more.

In the states doctors are highly paid because they go through so much education and loans, that they are not going to do socialized medicine like in some countries. They want to get paid back on the huge amount they spent on their education. At the same time those who make it big in business and whose jobs are not on aving lives are providing a service rake in moolah. Even now medical as become an industry with business minded people owing practices and make more than those who actually provide the service.

For some reason, we spend our hard earned money on expensive tickets, so that we can go and sit in a stadium for a couple of hours to cheer for a bunch of overweight yanks who are paid millions to wear a clownish costume and hit balls and run around in circles... and if they lose we become frustrated, and if they win we get happy, even though it makes absolute no difference to our lives either way, except that we are now short on cash because we spent it on a ticket which will go towards paying the salary of the players to lead a lavish lifestyle while we slave away at work for hours on end in a job we don't particularly like... and this is called entertainment ;)

we are all mindless zombies maintaining this system.

Ok m gonna post questions which have left me 😕

Firstly whats in those stars that make people act so bizarre, cuss other people , get into arguements ,debates about people whom we dont even know...

Have they paid you to do that? Are they your relative?

They belong to the same species (except few😉) and just entertain us.

even magicians do, jugglers do,jokers do too

Actors dont do something that we cant live without ..

Being fan of their work is a different thing but seriously I see no point in bashing a person who criticised your so called fav actor.

Secondly Why the farmer is of lesser worth than a superstar actor?Why a star is paid so much when all he does is **acting** and entertain whereas a farmer(or a food company) provides food to many

Engineers doctors lawyers teachers tailors are wayyy more important than actors...

I am not jealous or anything but it just so weird and I see no logic of paying such hefty amount to an actor.

What do u guys say?

edit ...Superstar actors...

very nice post..👏

& i totally agree with u yaar😳
