The commercially centred aspect of entertainment that revolves around performing arts, especially musical theatre, vaudeville, comedy, film, fun and music is known as the show business (show biz). According to Statista research, the entertainment industry constitutes about $ 2.1 trillion in the global revenue generation which is 1 trillion higher than the business market industry. This stands as a fortunate revelation to the profitability of the market. One of the reasons why the entertainment business seems to thrive is because of its indispensability. Naturally, people love to find a means of diversion from the stress and negative aspect of life, this is what entertainment provides. In an article by Peter G. Stromberg PhD in Psychology Today, it has been observed that entertainment is not only thrilling but also relevant to human development. Looking back in history, the cavemen drew on walls, danced and created sounds to form musical pieces. Tribes engage in storytelling to preserve memories and transfer knowledge. Humans are development-centred; hence, entertainment is just a means to expand ourselves. In recent times, entertainment fell into second place for the industry with the most billionaires. The richest individuals in the globe are beginning to fall into the show biz categories after finance and business investment. The new generation of entertainers is consistently harnessing the power in the industry to penetrate high performing industries such as real estate, technology, real estate and finance through the influence of social media. They make themselves public figures and brands, granting fans to build their relationships with identities they view on TV. Entertainers are manoeuvring the potentials on social media to amass the support and followership of the millions online. With this, they can create anything, sell a product, provide a service and people will invest in them.
