We are going to see more and more of these "stories" -- advertising masquerading as reporting. Even magazines are resorting to "sponsored" articles. I understand why they have to do it (magazines are dinosaurs and nobody thinks they should pay for anything on the Internet), but it really sullies the whole idea of journalism -- even further than FoxNews and other outlets for boutique propaganda.

As to the subject of this thread, I always take "estimated worth" numbers to be very generous in their estimations.

That said, you can make some real money being in successful ads. I have a friend who made six figures from just one ad -- and she didn't say a word.

I always find these net worth figures suspect. I've seen some of the statistics these sites use and across the board it's nothing more than a silly conglomeration of assumptions by people who know absolutely nothing about the subject's financial dealings.

Exactly. They don't even seem to take into account the difference between "total monies made" and "total money still in the bank."

If he's worth 15mill, then that dimwit chick Flo on the never ending stream of insurance ads must be worth twice. I'll believe it when I see a Balance Sheet, preferably with a mustard stain.

It says he's been in over 300 commercials. If anything, he's underpaid.
