Way too much Look at Selena Gomez. If my internet research is correct she received 3 million dollars in one year, but this was a while back. It has probably increased by now. So, she is earning more than most Chief Executive Officers (granted, the biggest multinational corporation leaders get higher numbers). To me, this is just wrong. I know they work hard as actors, I know they wake up early and have to hit the gym to look great for specific scenes and terrible for others. But compare what they do - one job of acting, for a few months a year - with what people with jobs that require innovation, risk and traditional hard work in order to achieve financial success do ... Nah. Sorry.
