Doubt it. Top celebrities make say 20 million per movie, compared to the top devs, like Bill Gates, who make far more.

- dzhiurgis 6y agoLol he’s a founder, dev is a side effect. We’re talking developers who get hired, not self made. The only celebrity devs I know is Kelsey Hightower, DHH, Carmack. I doubt they get more than few million contracts for dev, not conference work.
- bawolff 6y agoPlenty of celebrities are self-made and own their own production companies (or whatever structure is appropriate). The youtube star this story is about appears to be pretty self-made. Its not like bill gates was only ever a CEO, in the beggining he was a coder. Just because he decided to start his own business which he coded for, does not make what he did for that business in the beginning be any less "coding".
- dzhiurgis 6y agoTop 4 out of 5 current billionaires are coders, but obviously they wouldn't make millionth of that if they weren't founders too. I don't know much about how celebrity industry world work and how much of them are self-made.
