Bethenny Frankel Didn’t Really Make $120 Million From SkinnyGirl
Forbes magazine is reportedly upset that Bethenny Frankel lied about income from her SkinnyGirl margarita earnings and posed for their cover ranked along with celebrities in the issue. Frankel claimed that she made $120 million off of her cocktail company while financial reports show that it was actually only purchased for $8.1 million, which she split with her partner. Forbes released a statement saying: “We re taking this very seriously. We based our numbers at the time of reporting on solid sources. We re aware of the new information [uncovered by HuffPost Celebrity] and we re looking into it right now, Dan Bigman, Forbes executive editor, tells me. We re going to review all the information thoroughly and talk to Ms. Frankel before taking any steps. If there are any inaccuracies, we ll correct them. If clarification is required, we ll do so.
