Nowadays celebrities earn more money than politicians. What are the reasons this? Is it a positive or negative development?

Over the

last

decade, there is a tremendous rise in salaries earned by celebrities. When compared to political leaders, it is significantly higher,

thus

, a matter of serious debate. In

this

essay, I will outline why is

this

the case and elucidate its negative outcomes. Two key factors that contribute to the substantially high income of celebrities are the sources of money generation and the collaboration with brands. Popularity leads to high demand and

The other factor is the collaboration with big brands worldwide, unlike politicians, an entertainer's pay is not restricted to a country, they are able to generate more money by working internationally for famous brands

celebrities may feel a sense of entitlement as they are earning from the lawmakers of the country.

As a result

, they will not value the legal system or abide by all the rules.

continues to rise, the authoritative forces of the nation will lose their power and assertiveness.

To conclude

the aforementioned discussion,

while

the difference in salaries is high, it should be transparent.
