Another factor is that actors generally don't make decisions about roles based on money
It may sound counterintuitive, but actors and actresses for the most part don't take on roles based on how much money they can make. They have to be very careful about not getting screwed over, and they negotiate for as much as they can when they have any kind of leverage, but nobody becames an actor or actress with the goal of getting rich. They became actors and actresses because they love acting. The odds of making a living, let alone getting rich, in the acting biz are so astronomically high, that it makes no sense to make the decision to become an actor/actress on the basis of how much money you will make. There are lots and lots of people who are very talented, extremely good-looking, and willing to put in the hours, who never make it. You have to do it because you love it, not because you think you can make a lot of money. Because you probably won't.
So KKNIG has a SB price under H$4 because she wants to work in small movies that make no money, rather than big blockbusters. Assuming that she has competent money management skills, I doubt she ever has to work again. Why does she want to work in these small movies? Because she gets to spend a lot more time acting, and a lot less time waiting for the lights to be set up and the stunt people to do their thing. For an actor or actress, working on a blockbuster might actually not be that exciting, because they spend lots of time waiting, and not a lot of time doing what they love, which is acting. SAFEW didn't make anywhere nearly as much as we were expecting, but KKNIG looked like she was having a blast with the role.

please read explanation from Glossary link posted at the bottom of every hsx page. Aug 02, 13:18
In some ways I agree. I look at KKNIG and think "How the mighty have fallen" but you could say the same for EMCGR and KWINS, Aug 02, 20:33
starbonds price is not based upon popularity or talent. Strictly based on the box office of their recent films Aug 02, 13:30
Not directly, but the A-list stars are always involved in blockbusters, which mean their TAGs tend to be higher. Aug 04, 07:31
you haven't played starbonds in your 9 years at HSX? {nm} Aug 02, 15:26
I've played casually for nearly 12 years and didn't understand Star Bonds until I read your blog this year. Aug 03, 12:29
my remark was not intended to insult that other player Aug 03, 16:05
