No mention of nationality, so obviously not falang. Thai? No - more likely Chinese using his own product. -

News Forum - Pop singer Justin Bieber sells song rights for a cool US $200 million
I disagree. Tell me just how much revenue Mike Trout generated and your source for that. His $426 million dollar contract what based solely on what the "Angels" perceived his worth to be and what another team might offer him for his services. The same is true for CEO's. The company pays them based solely on their perceived value and what other companies might offer them. One huge differece is that most CEO's compensation is incentive based. They get those large payouts only if the company meets financial targets. Not true with atheletes who get the majority of their money even if they are on the bench for non-performance. -

You really have trouble comprehending don't you. I didn't say they were CEO's I said that you have some athelete not even a superstar earning more than a CEO but it is the CEO of a company who gets villified and not the third baseman hitting .231 that does. -

Yes there are, so but I am pointing deliberately to the top executives of the Fortune 500. These are the ones who receive negative comments about their compensation. They are the CEO's of America's largest corporations. No different than the 975 players in Major League Baseball. They have reached the pinnacle of their chosen occupation. There are tens of thousands of minor league and semi pro baseball players. But my comparison was between the Mike Trouts who got a $426 million dollar contract for playing center field. No negative comments. However let a CEO of a Fortune 500 company get a similar compensation package and the CEO gets villified. I don't have a problem with either. It is the marketplace dictating what a person is worth.
