Spencer Pratt Sold Mary-Kate Olsen's Photos for $50K
27 Jan
Summary
- Spencer Pratt sold photos of Mary-Kate Olsen for $50,000.
- The sale funded Pratt's first, unreleased film project.
- Olsen recalled Pratt's poor temper during school days.
Spencer Pratt revealed in his memoir that he sold private photographs of Mary-Kate Olsen for $50,000. This sum was used to finance his debut film, a project that ultimately went unreleased. Pratt acquired the photos from a friend's personal collection, taking them from a wall display after Olsen's relationship ended.
The sale quickly resulted in a prominent tabloid feature, with Olsen's image splashed across a magazine cover. The photos captured a period of her life documented in European hotels and Hollywood parties. Pratt found himself unexpectedly linked to Olsen's public image, becoming part of the narrative.
Reflecting on the incident, Pratt described it as a beneficial outcome for both parties involved. He suggested Olsen received a 'rebel rebrand,' while his friend gained 'closure.' Olsen herself had previously commented on Pratt in a 2008 interview, noting his poor temper during their time at the same school.
