When we think of celebrities we often think of private planes and jet-setting, massive homes in the Hollywood hills, and endless designer duds. However, sitting down and getting paid is not one of them.
I recently came across an article that discussed how much celebrities are paid to sit front row at fashion shows during various fashion weeks. WHAT?! I want to get paid to sit down. I think that the world's fascination with celebrities is almost an epidemic, and the fact that designers pay celebs to sit at their shows is a bit crazy.
But, I'm not a complete idiot. I know that designer clothing will sell better if seen on a hot celeb. I guess it's just the idea of it all that bothers me. Here are some going rates of celebs:
A-List
Rihanna ($100,000 or more)
Beyonce ($80,000-$100,000)
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen ($80,000 each)
Julianne Moore ($60,000)
Maggie Gyllenhaal ($60,000)
Chloe Sevigny ($60,000 or more)
Jennifer Lopez (circa 2005: $80,000; circa 2010: $30,000)
Lindsay Lohan (circa 2006: $60,000; circa 2010; UNINVITED)
Colin Firth (pre-A Single Man: $5,000; post-A Single Man: $15,000)
B-List
Blake Lively ($50,000)
Leighton Meester ($40,000)
Hillary Duff ($40,000)
Other Gossip Girl cast members ($25,000 a piece)
Jared Leto ($25,000)
Cliven Owen ($10,000)
Kristen Bell (unpaid, but airfare, makeup and clothing are taken care of)
C-List
Kim Kardashian ($35,000-$50,000)
Amanda Bynes ($25,000-$30,000)
Eliza Dushku (unpaid, but airfare, makeup and clothing are taken care of)
D-List
Paris Hilton (free or UNINVITED)
Jersey Shore cast (UNINVITED)
America’s Next Top Model Winners (free)
The most surprising for me was that Paris Hilton goes FREE or uninvited. That's just hilarious. Oh well, I guess since I'm a Z list celeb, I won't be attending any fashion shows anytime soon.
