Angelina Jolie could command up to $10 million for the first exclusive pictures of her twins. Celebrity weekly editors told Page Six that the business of buying baby pictures is out of control. Xtina reportedly got $1.5 million from People while JLo took home $6 million.
One editor said, "It's at the point now where some stars might decide to have more kids just to collect the money from their photos."
Barry Levine of the National Enquirer said the weeklies don't mind paying, because their numbers go up and they can sell the pictures overseas, "It's outrageous, they've gotten very sophisticated. The rights are bought up now even before the celeb enters the hospital. They hire extra security so it's impossible to obtain a photo illegally." Barry said that in 1989 he paid Lisa Marie Presley $100,000 for her baby pictures.
