Celebs sell privacy for big bucks!


Celebrity fame might be worth millions and so is their privacy too. They might act cheesy trying to pretend like hapless victims of constant media scrutiny and paparazzi nuisance trying to picture them doing even the most common things like normal people. Yet, when it comes to using their fame wisely, they auction their well-guarded privacy and make moolah from the tabloid who wishes to beat its competitor as fast as it could. No wonder the past few years have seen an explosive rise in the prices paid for exclusive celebrity photos. Its just the demand and supply theory. The public wants it, the media is ready to supply it and the celebrities are willing to sell it. The magazines are willing to cough up millions because exclusive photos can set themselves apart in a field thick with competition--in print, on the tube and on the Web. angelina-jolie+shiloh nouvel.thumbnail.jpg In Forbes' list of the 10 most expensive celebrity photos surveyed the top-priced photos sales in the United States over the past 10 years recently. They found out that the most expensive celeb photos were bought for $4.1 million. People magazine paid for the Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt baby photos in June last year. Second place went to Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher's wedding photos, for which OK! magazine reportedly paid $3 million in October 2005. Overall, Pitt and Jolie dominate the list, with four of the top 10 slots. Photos that chronicled the sad saga of Anna Nicole Smith accounted for another three. The humanitarian duo Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie donated the funds to a selection of charities serving African children rather than pocket the winnings. Anyways... this is just one side of the story. The reported sum: $4.1 million--and that doesn't include the additional $3.5 million that Hello! magazine reportedly coughed up for British rights to the shots. Fair enough I say. As long as you are in demand... sell yourself as much as you can... thats what is the primary rule of Showbiz... isn't it?
