24. Are actors and professional athletes paid too much?

Sport and money.

Everyone has heard that famous sportsmen earn a lot, even a very lot of money. More from us would like to be a champion and get at once a big chunk of money that it will be enough for good. But little of us ventured to earn money by professional sport, because it's obscure, whether it is possible to earn something by doing sport and how much time, energy, force and money it should wast before the first result will be feasible.

It's clear that Olympic champions, record-holder, titled sportsmen get enough for living, but not always can be first and best. The sport is an area that isn't for everyone who just want. The sport is a job that has plenty of niches and ways to earn money and it is a business that filled not only by the sportsmen. Not everyone can run and swim quickly and play football elegantly, frankly speaking not every one is determined to try sport, as not everyone prone to choose to be a fireman, police or military office as a profession. Last three job area are deeply connected with risk that's why their salary should be subsided by government. In other case people wont want to choose them. How about the salary and fees for the professional sportsmen? In whole all looks like below. Sport is a big area for sport equipment and clothe manufacturers. They are ready to invest money in sport infrastructure developing and sportsmen for increase number of people who are doing sport, and of course to push up volume of their sales. Professional sportsmen are their advertising engines. Ordinary people try to attain the level of the best and famous sportsmen, and wear the same clothes as celebrity, eat the same food and drive the same cars. For example Swiss manufacturer of the watch "Rolex" is sponsor of such type of sports as golf, sailing or equestrian. Manufacturer of clothes for swimming "Arena" prefer aquatics and such famous producer like "Nike", "Puma" and "Adidas" take care on track and field athletic and football. Sport is show business and that's why amounts of fee are sharply depends on type of sport.
