I mean they’re not all super rich but especially in the USA and especially with actors or TV personalities it seems like the well known ones make huge amounts of money. Just picking people at random and doing some searching online, apparently Scott Bakula got paid $120,000 for each episode of NCIS: New Orleans he was in which totalled over $18 million. Some sources say that Sarah Sherman, who’s been on SNL for 3 seasons, is worth around $4 million. Why do they get paid huge amounts of money when most people, even if they’re at the top of their industry, make a fraction of that?
Awe poor them, maybe they can cry into their fat wads of cash.
May they soothe the pain of something as awful and totally undesirable as fame. /s
Would you really like to be famous? With all the consequences, good and bad?
Uh, Yeah? Who tf wouldn’t lol. To be loved and adored by millions, to earn millions from that, it defies comprehension that some even have it that good.
When I had a YT of like 2k subs and had an OF thing going, I had weird dudes who spammed me their life stories in insta dms day in and day out, I admit - not the most pleasant interaction - it was still a helluva an ego boost.
Fame is generally an amazing thing desired by damn near everyone. You ever seen the kind of crazy shit people do for 5 seconds of it on TV? I could never, but maybe that’s my loss.
Well there are people like you who desire it and then there are people like me who wouldn’t want it ever, like no way. I understand the need of an ego boost in some people and also the desire for the status and money. But there are very many people with other values that hate the idea of being famous and don’t need any ego boosts. Many people just want to have a peaceful and comfortable nice little life with their privacy intact. Some of the people lusting for fame probably also just imagine the resirable parts of it and would be quite surprised about the bad parts.
I can’t imagine such a lack of ambition honestly.
People can have quite different life goals and ambitions. Do you think fame is the only thing worth persuing? And yes, there are many people who don’t have huge ambitions and that’s ok. There are many ways to live one’s life. Sometimes having goals that are easier to reach can make you more happy.
