Don't you know? Supply and demand. If the demand for talented investor falls or their supply increases, his salary will go down.
Now, when was the last time you asked: an NBA star --- whose main talent is pushin a round rabber thing through a hoop, 'mind you --- makes $30 million from being a "spokesperson" for MCI, what the heck is THAT about?
That "srar" spent a few days in total on shooting commercials. By comparison, that 28-year-old works 14-hour days and has no vacations. Somehow THAT bothers you.
Why?
The money itself paid to the individual doesn't bother me. I'm a firm believer in the idea that a person is worth whatever he or she can negotiate. But sometimes the pay is out of proportion to the job.
