In modern day society, pop culture plays a significant role in the lives of teenagers. At some stage we all become emotionally invested in some or other pop star, adoring their talent and praising the image they portray in the media. The continuous that pop stars receive from their fans allows them to build a successful career and become increasingly rich. In some cases, ridiculously rich. But, is it really okay for them to be earning millions every minute while there are millions out there who are struggling to put food on their tables?

This is quite a controversial debate and there are numerous perspectives from which to approach the issue. Many people believe that there should be a limit to the salary of a pop star, mainly because they are not seen as doing actual work that benefits society in a constructive manner. “How can a singer be paid more than a doctor who studied for seven years and helps to save lives?” says a source I interviewed.

Although pop stars earn money legally and fairly, if they earn an absurd amount of money, there should at least be a law that obligates them to donate a certain percentage of their earnings to charity or organisations. This is important because there are individuals out there making lots of money but never really give back to the community that made them rich and famous in the first place. Perhaps a limit should be enforced to prevent famous people from taking advantage of the economy by boosting themselves up while doing no real work. It does seem rather unreasonable for someone to earn millions per minute for just singing or earning $30 per word on Twitter just because they are famous. However, the question remains whether we know exactly how much pop stars earn. Undoubtedly, more famous figures such as Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran earn enormous amounts of money, but, does this apply to all pop stars? If not, should limits to their salaries also be permitted?

The other sphere argues that pop stars should be allowed to earn as much as they are worth. It is certainly a generalisation to say that pop stars make money for doing nothing. The amount of effort that goes into producing good music and organising shows and tours is not always fully acknowledged by the public. If the person possesses the skill and talent then they should be allowed to take advantage of that and if people are willing to pay them a certain amount, then they should be allowed to accept it.

Personally, I feel that because we live in a capitalist society, the huge salary gap won’t ever change, so the focus should rather be shifted from trying to fix the imbalances to encouraging those earning excessive amounts of money to do as much charity and goodwill as possible. In that way, they will be contributing to the change that we need to make this world a better place, and, in doing so, they will have a positive effect on society while providing invaluable entertainment.

Yes weath gap will exist because of Capitalism. But the other option socialism is much worse.
But the doctor contributes to that pop star by listening to their music
