Some famous athletes and entertainers earn millions of dollars every year. Do you think these people deserve such high salaries?

People expect to receive remuneration for their services and some famous entertainers and athletes earn millions for their efforts every year. I believe that these professionals thoroughly deserve the amount they get paid for several reasons that I will attempt to elaborate upon in the following paragraphs.
One reason that I believe that an actor, singer or athlete deserves his multi-million pay packet is that we are discussing highly specialized skills here. It is not everyone who can sing like Luciano Pavarotti or Slam dunk like ‘Air’ Jordan! These performers and athletes have honed their skills to a point where they might just be the only people on the planet who [possess such skills. Thus, because these skills are highly developed, I think that they deserve their large pay packets.
Another reason for my belief is that the skills that performers and althletes have in very high demand. The reason for the high demand is that skills like these are also in short supply! How many quarterbacks like Greg Favre does the planet have? On the other hand, how many skilled managers does the plant have? Whuile the skills of Greg Favre are indeed in short supply, skilled managers abound and it is universal law that the more of a thing there is, the less it is valued and vice versa.
Another reason I believe that performers and athletes are deserving of the money they are paid is that they literally have to go through heel in order to acquire those skills. I totally discount talent, as there are plenty of talented but unsuccessful people. Sweat, blood and tears is what makes a successful performer or athlete and the competition is much stiffer that in all other fields.
Thus, I truly believe that athletes and performers deserve their high pay and so I would urge all to not be jealous of those high pay packets as these performers and athletes also add a lot of value to our lives for free!
