Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's new babies are the new obsession of money-hungry paparazzi -- the first image of the new Jolie-Pitt twins is estimated to sell for $20 million! The press has been ravenous to catch glimpses of daughter Vivienne Marcheline and son Knox Leon who Angelina gave birth to in a Nice, France hospital on July 12. Brangelina's babies seem to have officially earned the title of "world's most famous children."
Their publicist, Max Clifford, thinks the first shot is worth even more than the $10 million already offered by one magazine. "I think the pictures could fetch £10million, which would make it the biggest baby deal ever." That's just about US$19.7 million!
Considering how much activism Angelina, 33, and Brad, 44, are involved in, I'm surprised they don't just sell the photos themselves and donate the proceeds to their favoured charities.
Who will be the first tabloid to snap up the images? Whoever is able to capture and sell those first photographs is set for retirement. If only making money were as easy as selling images of your baby! You could have your little ones completely set for life and still have enough to donate to charity or help make the world a better place.
