I'm not being funny here, but I'd love to know what Nikki does to make money.
She's spoken in the house about 'going on holiday to Australia in November...then to Africa in March for a safari...'
She's also told Brian she hates paying 'lots of tax'.
Tax on what? What does she do? And how can she spare TIME to go on two holidays for such long periods? More to the point, how can she AFFORD two holidays in four months??
If anyone knows how Nikki makes her money 12 months of the year, please let us know. I'm intrigued. :D Thanks. :)

She writes for OK magazine, so far as I know.

She has her NOTW column as well.
She most probably has a few quid invested from when she had her own show, maybe some money left from her book as well.

Must pay well to be able to take a few months off for holidays...
Thanks for the reply. :D

Yeah. But she also has a lot of spare time to go on holidays. That's what I find intriguing. ;)

It wouldn't surprise me, at all, if she simply gets paid for letting them use her name and they have "proper" columnists writing them:joker:.

Nikki is almost certainly freelance, i.e. self-employed. Not an employee.
So she can do as much or as little work as she wants and take holidays whenever she wants.... obviously provided she's earning sufficient to finance her lifestyle, when she is actually working.
Does she still live with her parents?

So all her earnings from writing for columns and so on are really just pocket money for her. No accommodation expenses etc.
No wonder she can pretty much do what she wants when she wants!

You'll be spot on there. Judging from her efforts in the BB house when she was writing her column. Sounded more like a 10-year-old's letter home to parents. :joker:

As someone who both writes and edits, I'd like to say that I hope the person who edits and rewrites her barely coherent ramblings is being equally well paid.

She makes money off OK Magazine, News Of The World, TV appearances, photoshoots, event appearances and of course appearing on Ultimate Big Brother.

These magazines have certain budgets. I think the total profits before tax and other spendings is in the hundred thousands to low millions, not tens of millions per year. They have to pay staff and publishing costs and losses.
Nikki gets paid about 50 quid for her time.

I don't think Nikki would get out of bed for £50. :D
It wouldn't be a vast amount, agreed, but is more likely to be in the £200 - 300 range.
The parent company of OK makes a profit of about £40 million.

in an onlike OK poll nikki came on top as the celeb most people want to read about. She does online column and you can see she is coherent, has wide use of vocabs, she has potential do be different things, she's also doing DJ work and has done few gigs already but would love to see her in a sitcom.

Is everyone forgetting she used to be a escort/prostitute before she first went on Big Brother?? and also posed topless for porno mags.
She is not as innocent and dumb as she appears. If she was a high class escort then she might have been earning £300 to £1000 a time so she has probably got some saved up in the bank.

But she sure is fücked up! :joker:

200 to 300 a week? God no! No way. They would get somebody decent quite easily for that.

Papers, Magazines even TV use editors and sub-editors. People like Nikki and Aisleyne and others send in a pile of rubbish and then it is checked for grammar by editors, sub-editors and copy-editors.
They are merely a face - that's all. The same thing happened with Danny Dyer in Nuts/Zoo. He is merely a face but a writer at the magazine wrote something that put him in jeopardy.
That's how the business works.
I doubt she gets paid a lot and I think she made a lot of the money suing endemol guaranteeing a show out of the end of it.

Of course not. She made a decent whack from that and is from what I've heard how she got on the show in the first place.
Where do you think they find the likes of Ben and Siavash? Some of the producers go to these "parties" these numpties throw in seedy basements around London and ask them to come on the show.

Maybe she still continues with her columns while she is away in other countries. Take an hour or so out of her day to write these.

That must be a great position to be in. Do feck all for much of the day. Have around six-ten holidays per year and get others to do the work for you. And get paid as if you're doing it yourself.:shocked:

She has a bunch of boys who live in their bedrooms spending their allowance on her. What do you expect.
