Bonus question for the comment section
Which profession generates the most money?

[Astarlessnightsky]

Regarding professional athletes it depends on the country, Basketball and American Football, as well as Baseball are only really popular in the USA while Football (Soccer) is really unpopular.

So from a global perspective i wouldn't choose any athlete to be most popular, with a few extraordinary exceptions.

Musicians are also depending on genre, but there is a global audience for most of them.

Actors and Actresses are quite popular, but only if they make movies in Hollywood.

In terms of power none of them has much power besides their money.

Who are the extraordinary exceptions?

[Astarlessnightsky]

Someone like Pelé or Maradonna. Or Micheal Jordan in the NBA, or Tiger Woods in Golf.

Players who are considered the verry best over decades.

But there are hundreds of other players you only know if you are generally interested in the sport. And even than you may only know the ones of your favourite team.

Im going with singers, music has many different influences that can come together. The latin pop/Reggaeton culture has had a huge spike in new artists and are always in collaboration with one another.

really depends but obviously on a global scale actors, singers and footballers get a lot of respect. I'm thinking of a famous person from each so like Tom Hanks, Harry Styles, Messi etc - all of them are famous and insanely rich but I think whilst Messi gets more respect for his job Tom Hanks is more beloved and Harry Styles is more mainstream loved if that makes sense...

I voted B, but I don't really think any of those are respected that much to be honest

So what other public figure professions do you think brings the most fame and respect?

[Anonymous]

it's not a matter of the chosen profession but a matter of how good you are at the profession you're in and how you market yourself in that profession. marketing means a whole lot as does your skills in that field of expertise

there are investors who don't sing or act or play any sports but have fame power and respect. there are clothing designers photographers carpenters painters and so many more who have power respect and fame it really all depends on how good you are in your field

[Opinion Owner]

politicians have power and fame but no respect.. so there's an exception to every rule

Why aren't baseball players included?

[Asker]

Can't name one baseball player personally
It's more an American thing

Can name a few American football players
Which is why I included them
