Cohen MotePersuasive EssayMiss A, Pd. 63 June 2022Should Rich People Make More Money?I think athletes should make more money because they have been working everyday all day since they were kids. They weren’t getting paid as kids, but they had that mindset to work hard everyday and to always have that motivation to get up in the morning and start pushing themselves. They have spent a lot of time and money to get to where they are now. Everyday they wake up and set their minds to go out and break their goal to get to the next level. Athletes have to do well in games or races under all that pressure to get support from the fans, their teams, and companies to get paid. Players also have to get put in games so they have to keep working hard in practice everyday working their bodies harder and harder. According to the Healthsite, “A typical pro athlete would train around 5-6 hours a day 6 days a week” (Suchde).CEO’s should make more money than the average person because they have worked a lot of their life to get to that part of the business.Actors should make a lot of money because they are at risk of dying in those parkour scenes or injured. Some celebrities like singers have their own business and sponsors that pay him a lot of money from people buying things or doing photo shoots etc. A lot of singers make music videos which costs them a lot of money but they make all that money back and some. A lot of singers also have concerts which will cost them a great amount of money but then they make double that. According to Music Industry How-to, “Professional singers will earn money
on physical copies, gigs, placements, etc.” (Duncan). Rhianna makes over 70 million dollars a year. The CEOs of companies should make more money than average people because they have so much stress on them and many responsibilities to deal with. CEOs have many different skills that the average person doesn’t have. CEOs have to stay up for hours doing work and sometimes not a day off for a long time. (“Why Do CEOs Make the Big Bucks?”)I believe people should make more money and the reasons are, They worked very hard to get to where they are in life. They have been trying to get to that point since they were little kids. I don’t think they had a plan b in life if they didn't become a professional person at whatever they were doing so they made sure to work hard and get it done. Personally, I think they should get as much money as they want.
