9. Octomom’s GoFundMe Debut
Listen, it is absolutely painful to even pretend as though Nadya Suleman— better known as Octomom— is a “celebrity,” unless we’re talking about her famous clown car of a uterus. She is a news-worthy figure though, and as such belongs on this list.
Way back in 2012, there was still a bit of shame associated with e-begging on GoFundMe, so it’s not that much of a shock that shameless mother of two whole litters Octomom was one of the first out of the gate bringing cyber-begging to the mainstream.
After her lame solo jerk off “porno” venture failed, her home was getting foreclosed upon so she expected the Internet to cover a $150,000 down payment on a new one. She raised at least a few thousand dollars from suckers, er, fans before the campaign was taken down.
