Obviously, the money start coming fom the poorer people who pay to see their games, concerts.. whatever. Yet people complain they have less money to spend because of increased taxes and higher living expense, but we don't necessarily see this speculation curbing the celebrities' fortunes. The sports industry and entertainments industry combined should makes the money distribution more widespread and the individual share should get thinner... These people also spend like money grows on trees??.

Well, don't they just siphon money from the "regular" folks who idolize them? Seems that way to me.

Most Celebrities with the exception of Musicians don't get paid based on how well they do. Athletes and Actors get paid mostly flat rates depending on the contracts they sign. Like a football player will sign up for a two year Three million dollar contract or something like that...and even if they suck...they still get paid. If they suck bad enough to lose their job they still get paid...because the owner has to buy out the contract. The Same goes with Tv and movies. They sign a contract saying they'll do so many episodes...and i get however much each episode, or hey I just want a million to be in your movie...and I'll give you a set number of hours of my time a week. So it doesn't matter how many people see their movies or watch their shows.
