Marilyn Monroe Shoot Makes Millions!

By now most people know about Lindsey Lohan's risky re-enaction of Marilyn Monroe's famous photo shoot in the NY Magazine. What most don't know is the Money brought in by the spread has made NY Magazine Millions.

According to the NY Magazine profits from internet banner ads alone were $500,000 for two days.

The magazine's site averages one million page views per day, but the photo shoot alone brought in 34 million views during the two days after the spread was revealed. And while the magazine keeps advertising revenue numbers to themselves, it's estimated that they made over $500,000 in two days from the banner ads running above the LL slideshow.

What price did they pay Lindsey for these profitable photos...Nada! This was a complete win for NY Magazine who is taking away millions without ever having to share a piece of the pie. Normally this would be the time I trash Lindsey but this was the shrewdest move of her young career. She even might go as far as a playboy cover shoot. I have a five spot for that article.
