Essay: Should entertainers and sports stars be paid so heavily?

Hello readers!
I'm posting after more than a month. I've been very busy in exam preparations, and so haven't been coming on blogger very often. (Sorry fellow bloggers, for not commenting on your blogs lately.) Meanwhile, I've written loads of compositions, and when my exams are over, I'll post them on my blog.
Anyways, here's an essay that I wrote yesterday. It was an argumentative topic, and even though it fell short of the word limit, I decided that it was good enough to be posted on my blog.
Happy reading! :)

Should entertainers and sports stars be paid such large sums of money? What are your views?

Money is misused in many ways by the authorities and the rich ones in-charge. Different television channels, various entertaining forums and event organizers pay huge sums of money to entertainers, often celebrities, like actors and singers, to perform for a live audience, or on television. Sports men are paid hefty amounts to play a single game, and even more if they win. They are sponsored by notable multi-national brands, which are more than willing to pay them such amounts.

One may argue that they deserve the money for their original ideas and hard work. They are paid for their talents, which they have performed for the public. Their energies, dedication, and years of practice has a right to be rewarded accordingly.

However, they do not need such huge amounts of money. The celebrities are already very rich and live luxurious lifestyles. What could they gain by adding to their wealth?

That money could be donated for the betterment of the society. It could be used to build and support orphanages, to educate the poor and uneducated, and to help the needy. It could, perhaps, also be used to improve the economy, and to build more facilities for the people. These causes are far more deserving of money.

Paying entertainers and sports stars huge amounts is clearly a misuse of money. I do not think that they should be paid so extravagantly for their performances. There is no valid excuse for paying the celebrities so heavily. If it is only because they are so popular, widely-known, and followed by millions, then that is a very unfair and illogical excuse.
