>You mean like sports stars? Sports is probably the closest thing we have to a true meritocracy. If you're an incredibly talented baseball player you'll have statistics to back it up. Because of this I'd wager that almost all the top tier baseball players are currently engaged by major league teams. However, acting is more subjective. It's much harder to objectively demonstrate that you are a top tier actor, so there are likely many top tier actors available for hire who aren't making millions.
