I Knew That Modelling Paid Well, But This Is Ridiculous
A male model has been awarded $15.6 million in a lawsuit against Nestle USA. Russell Christoff posed for a two-hour photo shoot in 1986 and his likeness was later chosen to grace Nestle's Taster's Choice coffee jars. The only problem is that Christoff was never told--and never compensated. He promptly sued Nestle and was awarded the princely sum by a jury. Christoff is now a kindergarden teacher, but it's not known why he left a career that pays $7.8 million an hour. Source
