In the last four months you’ve worked an average of fifty hours a week, brought home a grand total of maybe, what?, eight, nine thousand dollars, splurged on a nice meal for the family at Red Lobster (with appetizers!), and socked away a couple hundred bucks for next summer’s trip to the Jersey shore. In that same time Kevin Federline has pulled in about $700,000 for showing up at some parties, drinking some Mad Dog, bitching about the Pavarotti always following him, and espousing the downness of the penny. We’re sure God will understand if you stick a .12 gauge in your mouth right about now.
In the most soul-crushing, life-is-not-worth-living news we’ve heard since learning of Lizzie Grubman’s insemination, MSNBC reports:
Britney Spearsí hubby has been earning extra cash by charging to show up at soirees; his fee for a cameo, according to In Touch Weekly, is a whopping $20,000.
And Spears is reportedly thrilled that, with Rent-A-Kevin and other gigs, her former back-up dancer actually has an income. In fact, Federline has supposedly earned $700,000 in the last four months.
Among K-Fedís other paying gigs, according to ITW: an estimated $250,000 for endorsing clothing line Blue Marlin and $25,000 per day to hawk such products as Virgin Mobile cell phones, where he made his infamous plea to save the penny. Heís negotiating to sign a deal with Jive Records, which happens to be Spearsí label, for $300,000 per album, and he also hopes to bring out his own line of jeans and beach jewelry.
With Federline raking in all this cash he reportedly did something that once would have been unthinkable: When he and Spears recently went to a restaurant, ITW claims Federline actually picked up the tab.
Kevin paid for food! When Britney was right there, totally capable of paying for it herself!
