$20K per tweet? The shady side of celebrity tweets


Did you hear *fill tweeting celebrity name here* loves Nestle’s chocolate chips? Or, that so-and-so famous person uses a Sony Vaio? Before you skip out to the grocery store to stock up on Nestle sweet treats, take note that 1) your favorite super-skinny starlets probably don’t down Crunch bars and 2) companies like Nestle and Sony pay up to $10,000 per tweet by certain celebrities. That’s right, 10,000 buckaroos.

Kim Kardashian recently made headlines with talk of $10K sponsored tweets and it turns out that she isn’t even the top potential earner. Ad.ly CEO Sean Rad claims Britney Spears and Sean “P. Diddy” Combs could rake in up to $20,000 per sponsored tweet. For her part, Kardashian claimed the sponsored tweets are limited to once per day.

All this fast Twit-cash could be a thing of the past though as CNet reports a new regulation will require celebs to disclose if a blog post or social networking status update was posted as a result of any type of cash incentive. Those who fail to paid reviews or sponsored tweets could face fines of up to $11,000.
