why do celebrities get paid so much money? is it worth it?

Answer 1

Our society is based on voyeurism rather than intelligence.

Answer 2

I don't know why they get paid so much, but I don't think it's worth it. I understand that it costs a lot to make a movie or to build a stadium, but I really don't think movie stars and athletes are worth what they are paid. Somewhere, in their not to distant past, is a teacher or a coach who made a huge impression on them as child, yet that teacher or coach makes next to nothing compared to what the celeb is making. Start paying the people who deserve that kind of money, more money, and a little less to the actors and what not.
