Certainly not £1million a week. Also, those people deserve the money they earn with years of studying and lots of responsabilities. I don't begrudge their salaries, they are justified.

Comparing surgeons to footballers is ludicrous. I have never understood why this is viewed as some kind of reasonable metric.

An often used comparison is the Prime Minister's salary. At just shy of £150k, it's very nice but I wouldn't call it silly money. And considering that retired PMs can make a shedload more from consultancy, speaking engagements etc and that our current PM is a millionaire who has described his second £250k salary as 'chicken feed', I think it's a meaningless comparison which is usually used to try and undermine the public sector.

And there was a report of a 6 year old Korean child's parents buying a huge mansion. Child apparently does YouTube toy reviews and makes north of a million a month
Just because you're not interested in the hoopla of it all (be that football, fortnite or toy reviews) doesn't mean that millions and millions are interested and will pay good money to have that interest met

Those millions come from the private sector and not the taxpayer / public purse. There’s the difference between footballers, gamers, YouTube reviewers and surgeons.
Top surgeons in the private sector make significantly more than £100k a year (granted not £1m a week but even in football that was going to be a unique figure)
I am interested in how much work you think he does, I guess you have the idea it is 90 minutes a week.

Despite popular misconceptions, so do footballers.

We could easily pay surgeons a million quid a week, and nurses too if you like.
Just write the amount of tax you'd like to pay on the back of an envelope...

Anyone who can get a million a week must have something going on upstairs...

Assuming that intelligence is at least partly a genetic trait, earnings potential shouldn't be limited to those lucky enough to possess it. We all have different and valuable skills.
That said, I think top level sportspeople certainly do possess a great deal of intelligence.
