How Much Does Celebrities Get Paid to Sit Front Row @ Fashion Week

mary-kate-front-row

I’ve always wondered if celebrities got paid for showing up at a particular designer’s fashion show (or got free clothes), sitting front row may be status but I’m sure with their busy schedules they’ll need to be compensated somehow. Fashionista had an interesting story about how much fashion brands pay celebrities to sit front row at their shows, looks like Rihanna hits the top of the list at $100,000 or more. I didn’t see Lady Gaga on the list, I seriously wonder how much she would get. I’m not sure how accurate this breakdown is but it’s fun to get an idea of how much they’re rack in, they’re seriously living the life. From A-list to C-list, check out the breakdown after the jump…
