Being A&F Eye Candy Won't Make You Rich

Filed Under: Fashion Smashion Models Ad Campaigns Abercrombie & Fitch

If you're an aspiring model, and have your eyes set on being the next Abercrombie & Fitch poster child we hope you're not doing it for the money.

Former Abercrombie model Brad Greiner recently dished on how much money he made showing off his hot bod for the preppy company: $500 a day for 2 days of shooting.

And that was back in 2004.

We're guessing with all the recent lawsuits against the company, most of their money is being spent on lawyers and not seksi models.

Brad says he's “definitely not bitter. It’s certainly changed my life. To see myself on a five-story billboard on Fifth Avenue or on Sunset, it just blew my mind. And I had to use it as a stepping stone.”

Taking a pay cut in exchange for being to being in one of the most talked about and oogled over ad campaigns is probably worthwhile to a young models career. It's just too bad that they aren't willing to compensate the one thing A&F is known for with a little more ca$$$h.
