There's money any times someone is followed by a large number of people.
Apparently he posted a picture a while back showing his coffee table after one of his porn parties. On it, there was a bottle of water (I can't remember the brand), but apparently sales of that product skyrocketed after that. Whether that was planned or not, who knows.... but I am pretty sure marketing people and celebrities took note of it.

Edit: It was Fiji water. There was also a Coke, Lysol wipes and Marlboro's on the table. It was pretty much a commercial. You can google search for the picture. I'd post it, but it probably falls in the NSFW category.
