Don't forget actors, some of whom command as much as $20M a film. It's all part of the larger problem of American society giving too much esteem (and money) to entertainers/sports gladiators/company CEOs, while at the same time squeezing the common working man (union and non-union) every way possible. I just got a note in my mailbox at work last week that I will have to kick in $552 a year more for health insurance. This, no doubt, is because my company only realized a profit of $120 million last year instead of $140 million.
