It just goes to show that those who hit the jackpot in the entertainment business risk losing all sense of value. Many seem to think the massive riches they are given for a bit of entertaining is 'right', when compared to those who merely do something more worthwhile for their fellows, for a pittance. Unfortunately this is a weakness of the capitalist system. If someone came up with something better it would be worth considering.

To be Jonathan Ross you need a degree of ego, otherwise you would not believe yourself able to do what he does.

He is hardly likely to say "WEll, actually, I wasn't worth anything like what i was paid ..." which will simply lay him open to howls of righteous anger from licence payers.

Mr Ross does not subscribe to the odious British habbit of public self-deprication - and I applaud him for it.

[ummmm]

I agree with Andy.

From the Mail article

'I can't believe the director general is worth 1,000 people who clean up the tea'

So Mr Ross are you worth 6,000 of these cleaners??

IMO no one is

[Old_Geezer]

Precisely.

Its the people who think and pay him these extraordinary amounts that worry me. There are many other people on this planet who could do the same job for half his salary.

Well I am licence payer and certainly wouldn't howl with anger if J R told the truth and agreed he wasn't worth six million pounds.

[andy-hughes]

vulcan42 - but would you howl if he was still being paid that sum? That's my point.

theres a fine line between 'odious self depreciation', humbleness, egotism and delusion.

I think Ross has crossed delusion by several miles.
