Do you guys think Celebrities gets paid or have to mandatorily attend sport events?

I just thought about this while witnessing the Knicks and Spurs NBA Finals and The Fifa World Cup. It seems like these celebs have to be there because there bosses or masters are telling them so. Sports have the power to take the mind off the important things that should really be happening like the wars in Iran and Ukraine, palestine gaza situation, tensions with Russia and China etc. Having Celebs attend these events would be a no brainer to make the masses follow and numb their dissatisfaction towards daily living and the hustles and bustles of life.

Are "celebrities" even real people?

Marketing expenses.

The influencer industry is a $34-40B behemoth in 2026 and it's only going to expand as traditional advertising craters further. Yes, celebrities in some way are probably being compensated (even if it's just to build their own brand).
