Rebecca Black Makes $27k/ Week

Forbes.com reported that Rebecca Black will make over $1 million from her debut hit, but Billboard.com says that figure is inflated. Rebecca takes home about $27k/week according to 101 Distribution, an independent music distributor. Black's song has been downloaded several hundred thousand times, not 2 million times.

Black could make even more when she releases her acoustic version of the song to dispel rumors that she needs AutoTune to sing.

Black's mom paid $2,000 to L.A.-based Ark Music Factory to record the song, which went viral online -- and received a staggering 33 million and counting views on YouTube. (By comparison, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" has been watched 22 million times.)

She has said she'll donate a portion of the proceeds to Japan earthquake relief.

I'd have to change my name if I were this chick. What sounds good at 13 doesn't sound so good a few years later, yet alone a decade or two or three later. I'm embarrassed for her.
