I agree with dubla. Not to get into specifics, but let us state the obvious. Unless you are talking about extreme exceptions like Jack Welch of GE, Bill Gates of Microsoft, or Steve Jobs of Apple, there is NO WAY that the average CEO of a business makes as much money as the average professional entertainer. Entertainment is where the $$$ is.
With CEOS, you tend to have annual salary and stocks. Those stock options are often long-term compensation depending on their performance. With professional athletes, you have annual salary (guaranteed), product endorsements, appearance (such as a book) signings, etc.
Alex Rodriguez of the Texas Rangers baseball team makes over $25 million a year for over 10 years, and that is just baseball salary. We aren't even adding on product endorsements (shoes, clothing line, etc.) and appearance fees.
Movie stars? Also entertainment. Jim Carrey, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, and many others command well over $20 million a film. When they do several films a year, you do the math.
How many basketball and baseball stars do you know making double-digit millions a year? Hundreds.
How many movie stars do you know making double-digit millions a year? Hundreds.
How many businessmen do you know making double-digit millions a year? A select few in the upper echelon of Wall Street and Fortune 500 companies. Look at the average compensation. Yes, businessmen do make millions in salary, but not NEAR the inordinate amounts of money entertainers (athletes and actors) receive.
