It’s an interesting time to be a celebrity. As we stan and cancel personalities quicker than the Lizzo tickets sold out, we’re cycling through a whole bunch of semi-relevant people at a newfound rate. As a result, these “celebrities” are increasingly finding other ways to make money off of their fans. There’s Onlyfans, there’s Patreon and there’s the good ol’ Go-Fund-Me, but there isn’t a platform more fascinating than Cameo.
Cameo allows celebrities, of whatever calibre, to charge fans a designated fee to record a personalised video message for them. These include everything from helping out with special events (like a birthday or an anniversary) to getting celebrities to help initiate a break-up. No, we’re not joking.
So, if you’re hoping to get the help of a celebrity for your special event, but you’re on a tight budget, allow us to rank the most relevant and irrelevant celebrities you can hire on Cameo, from most expensive to least.
