DirectAnon on 8ch had a great thread about why Hollywood actors make so much money. It goes thru a manager who supposedly launders it, taking a HUGE cut for people along the way. The question is, who gets the biggest cut. Probably not the actor. A similar thing was posted on CDAN about rap singers. They are told what songs to do and given minimal money. They get a lot of nice stuff and gifts but not much actual cash. This is likely how they control "talent" and get them to do what they want them to.
