Do you agree or disagree that celebrities are paid far too much money ?

#celebrities #money
Every year a list of the highest-paid
celebrities
 is published. Some stars are paid hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Some
people
 think they deserve
this
 money for their talent and hard work. I personally disagree, I don't believe anyone should have
such
 excessive amounts of money. In
this
 essay, I'll explain the reasons. Some
people
 argue that the highest-earning
celebrities
 are special. they have a talent that few of us possess and they have worked incredibly hard to become the best. My view is that we all have our own skills and abilities and most of us work hard. Just because someone's talent is for making things or teaching, why should they get paid so much less? It's true that we create the demands for
celebrities
 that let them become so wealthy.
However
, I think we're all paying too much for tickets to concerts and sporting events.
This
 is unfair because
people
 with low incomes don't have the opportunity to see these events in person. If
celebrities
 earned less, more
people
 would be able to afford to buy music and go to concerts.
To conclude
, I strongly agree that famous
people
 should have a lifestyle which is more similar to that of ordinary
people
.
