Ousted Congressman Joins Cameo, Charges $500 Per Video and Brags He'll Make More Than Congressional Salary
-
Santos was expelled from Congress and quickly joined Cameo, charging $500 per personalized video. He claims he'll make more there in a week than his $174K congressional salary.
-
Cameo launched in 2017 as a way for retired athletes to earn money. It now has celebrities charging from $27 to $1,500 per video.
-
During COVID-19, Cameo exploded in popularity. But business dropped as pandemic restrictions ended. Recent bookings are up 42% year-over-year.

CEO says Santos is seeing demand on par with Carole Baskin during COVID, who did 30 $299 videos a day. He may hit 6 figures this month.

Santos seems unfazed by critics, claiming “they can boot me out of Congress but they can’t take away my good humor.” He demands $20K from Kimmel to air Cameos.
