'Leak' Claims To Reveal How Much Lindsay Lohan, Other Celebs Earn From Crypto Promotions On Twitter

American actress Lindsay Lohan was named in a list of 114 influencers who are paid to promote cryptocurrency projects on Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR).

What Happened: On Tuesday, on-chain sleuth “zachxbt” made public a list of influencers and their alleged charges to promote crypto projects on social media.

“Not everyone on the list does undisclosed shills but the vast majority of names I see on there do,” said zachxbt.

Included in the list of celebrities and influencers who do not disclose paid endorsements of such projects was Lindsay Lohan. Lohan reportedly charges $25,000 for a single tweet, $20,000 for a retweet, and $35,000 for a package deal of two tweets and one retweet.

According to zachxbt, Lohan’s undisclosed shill tweets have resulted in “wrecking people.” In February, Lohan told her 8 million followers to check out an obscure project called MetaNetflix which saw its value plummet shortly after.

Lohan charges the most among the list of influencers that also included professional hockey player Zach Boychuk and cryptocurrency influencer Dapp Centre.

Earlier this year, celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Floyd Mayweather, and Paul Pierce were named in a class-action lawsuit for undisclosed promotions of Ethereum Max (CRYPTO: EMAX) – an Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) knockoff cryptocurrency.
