For the most part, the issues to be addressed are identical to those discussed elsewhere on the web-site, but Athletes and celebrities do have unique issues, ranging from privacy concerns, to complex income streams associated with temporary, seasonal, or project based incomes. Income may vary wildly from month to month, year to year. Income may also come from multiple sources, from royalty income to celebrity sponsorships and celebrity appearance bookings. Professional contracts are often contingent, complex and not guaranteed, with long-term deferral and incentives, and an athlete or celebrity may have a very limited period of to which they can earn substantial income.
