Bristol Palin Crapped Out Her Kid, Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston and $300K
Sarah Palin’s 18 year old daughter gave birth to a baby boy.Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston was born on Saturday December 27th. He is barely 72 hours old and he is already being sold to the highest bidder.
It is being reported by MSNBC that photos of Britsol Palin and Levi Johnston’s baby are retailing for $300,000.
“According to one source, bidding for the baby photos began at $100,000. People won out in the end, but In Touch was the only other weekly to make serious bids, according to several sources involved in the process.”
After the initial bid for the first photos of Tripp there was a lull. Thanks to Sarah Palin failing to sell stories on newsstands, interest dropped. That’s when grandma Johnston swooped in to reheat the appeal. After Levi’s mother was arrested on drug related charges the bidding started up again. People is rumored to have the highest bid as of now.
“The bidding started well before the baby was born, but once Levi’s mom was arrested — well, then you had a story,” says one editor.
As for how much teen parents Bristol and Levi made from the deal — most estimates hover around the $300,000 range (none of the magazines would confirm the exact figure in the end, which is standard).
That is a lot of cash for a crack baby. Er…Grandbaby of a crack head. Sarah Palin crack baby sounds more interesting.
