We all know that celebrities love to post photos of themselves on Twitter (hey, Rihanna!), but what about those other, seemingly innocuous tweets that qualify as neither pastime or promotion? It could be a paid-for tweet plugged into the social network for a pretty penny in return. The latest issue of New York Magazine, reports that celebs like Kim Kardashian, Snoop Dogg and even Charlie Sheen have all made bank in the tens of thousands for endorsing major companies like Toyota, Best Buy and American Airlines on Twitter. Below, a quick roundup of the listed numbers:
g Kim Kardashian: $10,000, for companies like ShoeDazzle.com and CVS.
g Snoop Dogg: $8,000 per tweet.
g Paula Abdul: $5,000 per tweet.
g Whitney Port: $2,500 per tweet.
g Charlie Sheen: $50,000 per tweet, for companies like Internships.com.
What do you think? Should celebrities be paid to endorse companies on Twitter, or should they keep the 140 characters strictly non-business?
