KLovestoShop December 10, 2015 Share December 10, 2015 (edited) George has to cover the expenses of his wife's clothes shopping. Rumors have it that she can go through $100,000 a month in her super high end designer clothes. She doesn't wear off the rack, and her shoes and handbags alone cost thousands. Actually, I don't know why A list stars do commercials, knowing they make $20 million per picture, or $1,000,000+ per episode to do a tv show. And if you travel internationally, you'd be surprised by how many big name stars you see on huge billboards and doing commercials. Celebrities are especially revered in Japan and China. I don't know about you, but if I dislike a celebrity, I refuse to buy a product they endorse.
