ELI5: Why does the general population see CEOs as greedy and not deserving of their salaries, while not criticizing actors, athletes, and musicians who make just as much if not more as CEOs nearly as much.

I know some people do criticize their pay, but on the news you always hear about CEO made 50 million while the average employee made 40K.  You don't hear Jennifer Lawrence made 10 million dollars from the Hunger Games while the average cameraman only made 30k.

I think it depends what sources you're looking at. A lot of people criticise the vastly and ridiculously inflated salaries that athletes get in comparison to, for example, doctors.

Anytime there's a story about a footballer demanding a wage rise because they're "only" earning £100k per week is generally met with scorn and derision, especially because 90% of the people paying money to watch them could only dream of earning that sort of cash. 

CEO stories are more compelling because there's an element whereby they can actually DO something about the disparity in wages, should they choose to, whereas the average sports star doesn't really control the wages of the other people who work for the team, say.
