<\/p>\n
A study in totty by Paolo Shaoul<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“God knows what he’d be worth today”. We’ve all heard it before. Today’s overpriced donkeys being compared to a genius of yesteryear. But if we can do that with footballers, then why not with beautiful and talented women too?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Scour the shelves or google the online media space and you will \ufb01nd hundreds of identikit models, page 3 wannabes, soap stars, virtual reality cast offs and yes, sometimes even a babe with a real talent.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And that’s the problem – where have all the billion dollar babes gone? The beautiful, cover page adorning mega stars, as famous for what they did with their clothes on as they were with them scattered in a photography studio.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sure we have Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox but is our appreciation of such beauty elevated to even greater heights by their volcanic charisma erupting all over the page?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Put in simpler terms if Megan Fox is valued today at $125m what would Marilyn Monroe or Brigitte Bardot go for in today’s “vastly in\ufb02ated transfer market”? And we also ask these important questions: what year and age did these babes find their greatest form or in other words\u2026when was their Maradona 1986?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today Elysium Magazine tells you the answer in its top 10 billion dollar babes chart. Oh\u2026and that all important equation:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Looks + talent x charisma + historic value x personality = $$$$<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
