Do you know how much does Tom Cruise get paid for filming in a movie? He earns surprisingly 20million dollars per movie. Besides Tom, numerous other celebrities make a huge amount of money annually. Some people might say that famous athletes or celebrities do not deserve high salaries; however, I strongly believe that they deserve them. their salaries are the reflection of their efforts and famous entertainers draw a large audience.
Since it is a matter of supply and demand, celebrities deserve their considered "exceedingly" high salaries. The more famous the athletes or entertainers are, when they participate in commercials, the more likely the item becomes popular. Thanks to entertainers' reputation, numerous companies usually sell more products than they would have sold if they did not hire entertainers. This is because it is human nature to be inclined to trust celebrities with the idea that public figures will not do acts that go against people's ideas in order to keep their reputation as appealing as possible. Therefore, companies' profits increased tremendously, in other words, celebrities' high salaries are the reflection of the large revenues they bring in.
Furthermore, well-known athletes and entertainers attract an enormous audience. This is because there are always reasons why some celebrities are famous, for example, their gifted talent in acting or in making jokes. For instance, if a night club invites a popular comedian, people might go there to see him. When people watch performances, they pay for entrance fee and food; as a result, club owner's profits increase and the comedian gets money. What's more people usually think it is worth it; thus, they might come back to the club later on.
In conclusion, those who might argue that celebrities or athletes do not deserve high salaries because they might think all they do is "easy" acting, singing, or engaging in their favorite sports. However, I strongly believe that since high salaries are the result of their work, they absolutely are qualified to make an enormous sum of money. |
