Rihanna Paid $100K to Sit at Fashion Week
Where can we get that job?
Most of us would absolutely die for a chance to go to Fashion Week. In fact, we'd probably be willing to pay lots of money, right? Well, imagine being begged to sit in the front row at a fashion show. And to earn $100K to do it. If you're Rihanna, that's exactly what you'd get.
Yup, Rihanna gets to attend pretty much whatever shows she wants at the upcoming New York Fashion Week. And get paid a ton to do it. In fact, she's known as the highest-paid "seat filler" right now. Basically that means that whatever shows Rihanna decides to attend, she'll earn $100,000 for sitting in the front row. Tough job, huh?
Beyonce is another in-demand seat filler, earning between $80,000-$100,000 to sit in the front row. And Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen each get about $80,000 for their attendance. Designers obviously know that people will pay more attention to their shows if there are big-name, fashionable celebrities in view. And they're willing to pay the big bucks to get them there.
Another fun fact? Lindsay Lohan used to get about $60,000 to attend shows, but now she makes squat. In fact, they'd probably pay her to stay far, far away!
But come on! Seat fillers? We'll do it for free!
