For Pippa Middleton, nude topless photos for a men's magazine won't be her best path for making millions. Instead, the royal sister will have to cautiously try her luck at some other business ventures, but they could be quite profitable. She will need to act quickly, though, in the case her fame diminishes; otherwise, those cheap offers may be her best means at money.
The scandalous Pippa Middleton topless sunbathing photos were taken years ago, and there was quite the uproar over them. They don't depict Middleton fully nude, only a slight bit from the side. Still, in terms of marketing herself, at least one authority suggests she be extra careful with what she does with that newfound celebrity status.
Fox News talks about how Pippa Middleton could really make a fortune off her recent celebrity status. One expert, Gene Grabowski, the Senior President of Levick Communications, talked to FOX411 about the best advice for Middleton in terms of her celeb business aspirations. Grabowski noted:
First, she needs to resist the cheap offers to pose in men's magazines and make quick money for celebrity appearances. Her air of mystery must be maintained for at least a while longer to build maximum potential. She cannot wait too long, however, because her value will likely diminish after four months or so.
It appears Pippa hit meteoric heights in terms of her celeb status after the Royal Wedding 2011, but scandalous photos of her without a top on and sunbathing topless added to curiosity. Of course, the commenter above mentions "cheap offers," and it's doubtful that an offer from Hugh Hefner for Pippa to do Playboy magazine would be cheap. Even Vivid Entertainment offered Pippa several million dollars to appear in a sex scene. Perhaps they mean "cheap" as in "cheapening" her royal image.
So what's the popular sister of Kate and William to do? One of the suggested ways Pippa can bank on her fame now are by writing, perhaps a book about being the sister of Kate Middleton, who is now a duchess married to Prince William. Another way is to license her image for a girl's doll which could potentially become a big seller.
Another business expert suggests that Pippa needs to "rise above the peeping toms and position herself in the multi-million world of party planning and catering." They suggest Pippa attach her name to perfumes, clothing, or makeup. Even after the Royal Wedding, tanning bronzer sales were up once Pippa's darker look was seen by billions. Some want to emulate her body or her wedding dress or other styles. With all that in mind, Pippa needs to hire herself a good PR person and get down to business!
Do you think Pippa will continue to become a well-known celebrity with more interest than her sister? Will Kate eventually rise up in terms of her fame?
