March 27, 2008 (Sawf News) - People paid a whopping $6 million to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony for the first photos of their recently born twins, Max and Emme. Angelina Jolie, believed to be carrying twins, could easily make $8-10 million, believe experts.
"If J.Lo really did get $6 million, then I think Angelina can now command $8 million," American Media Editorial Director Bonnie Fuller told Pagesix.
National Enquirer Executive Editor Barry Levine estimates Jolie could even get $10 million.
Pregnant stars are now "treating this like a game," he says.
"It's at the point now where some stars might decide to have more kids just to collect the money from their photos," jokes another magazine editor.
Celebrity magazines usually recover the millions they shell out through increased sales of the magazine, higher ad revenue resulting from increased page views on their websites and resale of photos abroad. Sometimes, the cover price of the magazine is also increased.
What the celebrities do with the money that they make varies. While Brangelina donated the proceeds from the world sale of daughter Shiloh’s pictures through Getty Images to charity, Marc, who owes the state of New York $2.5 million in back taxes, may use the money in more straightforward purposes.
