The Snapple Lady: $100 000
Wendy Kaufman had no idea that her role in the Snapple commercials would not only result in her becoming a household name, but soon she would be answering fan mail on behalf of her ‘Snapple Lady’ alter ego. Known by her ad agency for her attention to detail when dealing with fans, her appearance in advertisements in the 90’s saw their revenues soar from $23 million to $750 million. As with any good thing, it has to come to an end eventually, and when Snapple was acquired by a large conglomerate she lost the gig. Quaker Oats may have wanted to go in a new direction, but it didn’t work. Two years later, the Snapple Lady was hired again, earning a cool $100 000 during the course of her stint in the gig.
