If you are Lindsay Lohan and willing to take your clothes off for money, then you can still make more than $1M a year. According to TMZ, Lindsay has been paid three times as much for getting naked for Playboy as she made acting. Lindsay was paid $1M for Playboy, and just a little over $300K for all her acting. Most of the other money she made came from companies who believe that people care what Lindsay sells and pay her to be a spokesperson. Something that I found interesting is there is no mention of any of the companies that Lindsay supposedly owns. No money from the leggings? No money from that horrendous fake tan stuff? How much money did Lindsay have to spend on legal fees? Probably about as much as she spent paying taxes. Throw in some car insurance and agent fees and supporting her entire family and now you know why Lindsay has that almost billionaire on her speed dial.
I fondly look forward to a day that Lindsey is no longer even considered a celebrity at all. Or at least is so far down the scale that even Paris Hilton gets 50x's the press.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know how much she spent on knitting supplies and cable subscriptions aka coke and booze.
ReplyDeleteShe may have made $2 million, but how much has she been able to keep? It's really not that much when you figure attorneys' bills, agent fees, rent, drugs, hangers-on, etc.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure she's totally broke already. Horrendous spray tans and lip injections don't grow on trees, yanno.
ReplyDeleteGoogle image "Vikram Chatwal". The fat, sweaty billionaire.
ReplyDeleteLindsay shops all the time, too. Big sprees. She's certainly not spending her own money.
libby - that sitch is so nasty. Remember the pics through the hotel window of her doing blow off the desk and him possibly doing her?
ReplyDeleteShe needs to be institutionalized for like a year, so she can get a clear head and wake up to what her life has become. Everything she's doing is so shameful that the shame is going to continue to send her deeper and deeper into trouble. It's like a shame spiral! (What movie is that from???)
Just placed it. Clueless. Hah.
ReplyDeleteAll good things come from Clueless, Amber!
DeleteI've learned a lot of life lessons from Clueless. The best: always take out the nose ring when my allergies act up!
DeleteBased on his Wiki, Vikram doesn't sound like the most financially stable person either. Fortunately for him, he's got a billionaire father to back him up.
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikram_Chatwal
Btw, his Wiki says that he's married. Did he ever get divorced?
Beth, I believe he's Indian Sikh, and his marriage was to the 'right' woman his parents approved of. Then he discovered blow & starlets....perhaps his wife stays on another continent and is happy enough spending his money with her own side-pieces.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember the details and don't care to research, but I seem to remember his marriage was somewhat or totally arranged.
As long as White Oprah's in the picture, LiLo's never going to wake up and smell the sobriety.
ReplyDeleteI need just one of her jobs. Well not Playboy but... I bet I could have played Liz as well as she did.
ReplyDeletei know vikram's wife priya. their marriage wasn't arranged. they are separated and have been for some time - i think they may be divorced by now, i know priya has been seeing someone else as well. vikram majorly downgraded with lilo, ugh. his wife is gorgeous, brilliant and from a very wealthy family herself. she went to the london school of economics and was an investment banker before she turned to modeling/acting/fashion.
ReplyDeleteYou know what? She's a talented kid with catastrophically bad parents. during her legal misfortunes, she was a very big target, and we all know that shit was slung at her that wasn't rightfully hers. (Also much that clearly was, I'm not calling her the wronged victim.) I'm rooting for her to make a full comeback.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't necessarily mean I'm expecting it, mind, but I hope she comes through.
@Amber
ReplyDeleteJAJAJA I just watched Shame yesterday night!
f*ck its a tough movie. I wonder how many of my colleagues are weirdos like that...
@ash, that makes me think less of his wife. She went from investment banking to modeling/acting/fashion? That sounds like she wants to be on the same path as Vikram and Lilo.
ReplyDeleteash, I hope you didn't think I implied his wife was some girl from a village....I just said she was the 'right' wife for his family/status. If she has that level of education, clearly she is!
ReplyDeleteI am totally befuddled by the fact that these wealthy men are really interested in touching someone like Lilo, or even Tara Reid for that matter. I get it, they're the girls that will do "anything", but you can't tell me there aren't more attractive (and less diseased) girls out there to bump uglies with. What am I missing here?
ReplyDeleteI hope Ali doesn't end up in the same sitch. Hopefully she's getting clean and realizing her fam is the root of nearly all their problems.
Would have loved a real Lindsay comeback, although I'm thinking more and more that Mean Girls was just a fluke. Anything she did post-Fey was pretty bad.
On the otherhand, these horny, self indulgent, billionaires probably share their own diseased, putrified gifts from their private places with the amount of call girls they employ. While Tara and Lindsay are not innocent, I can't help but feel more repulsion for the exploitive stage parents, handlers, and billionaires who traffic in human life.
DeleteI find great pleasure watching Lindsay tumble down the celebrity ladder. I realize she's getting minor work on bad TV movies, but any time she drops another rung, I laugh a little...
ReplyDelete@Cornbread, the difference is that Lindsay, Tara, etc know that this is a business endeavor, which is what these men want. I don't think most women want to live as call girls.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, she was just filming "The Canyons" and not a peep came out. Maybe she is turning the corner. Let's hope so, so sad to see drugs and alcohol ruin a life.
ReplyDeleteShe's not the greatest actress in the world but certainly talented enough to find work if she keeps it together.
Eat your heart out Ayn Rand
ReplyDeletedoes that include the money she made whoring herself out in the middle east and europe?
ReplyDeleteIce. Nast. Yuk.
ReplyDeleteI mean, ICK!
ReplyDeleteShe has so many legal fees, she definitely had to keep whoring to pay for drugs.
ReplyDeleteShe was a talented kid. Her acting has sucked for years now.
ReplyDelete"Interestingly, she was just filming 'The Canyons' and not a peep came out."
One of her most ardent fans on ONTD got to be on the Canyons set, and what she saw there finally ended her liking for Lindsay. She said she kept saying she was too sick or too tired to do her scenes, and kept everyone waiting around all day until she deigned to work for a few minutes.
