Casey Anthony: Will She Profit From Her Case? - ABC News

After spending nearly 3 years behind bars and enduring an emotional trial, Casey Anthony could hit the jackpot by turning her infamy into fortune.

Anthony was released from jail early this morning.

She has already been offered a million dollars from an independent producer to tell her story and that's just the first offer.

"Between a combination of a book, maybe some sort of magazine articles, tv interviews and other ways of telling this monstrous story that she has, she'll probably be able to wrestle out of this about a million dollars," public relations expert Davidson Goldin said on "Good Morning America."

This wouldn't be the first time notoriety transcends into wealth.

After O.J. Simpson's 1997 acquittal for murder, he was given a $1 million publishing advance for his book "If I Did It," a first-person account of how the former football star could have carried out the slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

Amy Fisher served 6 years in prison for the attempted murder of her lover's wife.

Since her parole in 1999, she sold more than 32,000 copies of her book: "If I Knew Then."

She made a career in the adult film industry and her struggles with alcoholism landed her a spot on VH1's reality series "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew."

After the Menendez brothers were sentenced to life in prison in 1996, for killing their parents, Erik Menendez's wife Tammi Menendez wrote a self published book, "They Said We'd Never Make It - My Life With Erik Menendez."

Some say the likelihood of Casey Anthony cashing in is high but others are not so sure.

"Some people may not want to touch her because they think she has a little girls blood on her hands," said legal expert Susan Filan.

August 23, 2011 DC Real Housewife Michaele Salahi Rents in Beverly Hills Zillow The Eagle Tribune Tue Aug 23, 2011, 05:45 PM EDT - Apparently Washington D.C. doesn't have enough star-power for Michaele and Tareq Salahi. The fame-driven couple just picked up a Beverly Hills rental house for $20,000 a month. The white Colonial looks remarkably similar to another white house they crashed in 2009. Although the Salahis first had their dose of fame on The Real Housewives of Washington D.C., they became a household name when they went to President Obama's first state dinner at the White House in November 2009 , apparently uninvited. Since then the two have still sought the spotlight with Michaele attempting to get on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and rumors of another reality TV show in the works. According to TMZ , the couple decided that relocating to Beverly Hills is a necessary move in their strategy to climb the celebrity ladder. Rather than spending a few million to buy a
