Paid to be front row at Fashion Week

For the last couple of days, I've been reading up quite a bit on nitrolicious.com and came across this really interesting piece.

To be frank, like retrogurl, I've also been wondering if they were paid for showing up at a particular designer's fashion show or just some "goodie bag" with free clothes.

I'd die to sit front row at such posh events but I reckon for these super celebrities with their super schedules, it only makes sense if they get somewhat compensated for their time, right?

Here's a list from A-listers to C-listers!

A-List
Rihanna (USD100,000 or more)
Beyonce (USD80,000 to USD100,000)
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (USD80,000 each)
Julianne Moore (USD60,000)
Maggie Gyllanhal (USD60,000)
Chloe Sevigny (USD60,000 or more)
Jennifer Lopez (circa 2005: USD80,000; circa 2010: USD30,000)
Lindsay Lohan (circa 2006: USD60,000; circa 2010; UNINVITED)
