Is the standard deviation of the sample a good estimate of the variation of salaries of tv personalities in​ general?

The correct answer to this would be:

“No, because the sample is not representative of the whole population.”

Since the sample values are the 10 highest annual salaries of TV personalities, they give almost no information about the salaries of TV personalities as a whole or in general.
