Beyonce’s baby Blue might just turn green with envy when she hears about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s little one’s potential payday, which according to insiders is up to $1 million for the first picture! But that’s just pennies compared to the cash Beyonce and Jay-Z could have earned last year. Most parents would be crazy to turn down $14 million, but Beyonce and Jay-Z did just that when they refused the hefty offers from publications and chose to debut baby Blue Ivy Carter on their Tumblr account instead.
And while her love don’t cost a thing, her photos sure do! JLo and Marc Anthony reportedly scored $6 million from the sale of their twins’ pics.
Also getting top dollars for their tots? Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, whose first born biological baby Shiloh brought in a reported $4.1 million for her 2006 debut in People magazine. But that was nothing compared to the $11 million deal her twin siblings, Knox and Vivienne made for their double issue a few years later. Of course their socially conscious parents donated all of their earnings to charity.
Also in the spirit of giving, Victoria and David Beckham pleasantly surprised fans by sharing their first moments with baby Harper through Twitter. While in 2011, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon devoted an entire site to their new twins, royalty free and for all to see.
But nobody’s made a bigger name out of cashing in on her life than Kim K., who reportedly earned $17.9 million off her wedding to Kris Humphries last year. But could she, like other celebs before her, have a change of heart once her baby arrives and opt to share her pics for free?
For more on who cashed in and who was charitable with their children’s first photos, watch the video below.
