Is it fair that film stars or football players earn millions? While an average employeed person only earns a small fraction of that?

This is a question that could generate lots of argument for or against.

Being fair or not is a decision hinged on personal judgement and not necessarily on the main factors responsible for the enormous differences in their take home packages.

But be that as it may, lets go back to history in the days when this films stars and footballers earned next to nothing. What were they doing then that made them earn so little back then?

I think factors that have made film stars and footballers earn largekly higher are:

1. principles of demand and supply
2. Time and value
3. Multi source of revenue for the film industries and football
