Early Career and Earnings
Lindsay Lohan’s introduction to the entertainment industry began at the tender age of three when she signed with Ford Models. She modeled for renowned brands like Calvin Klein Kids and Abercrombie & Fitch. Lohan appeared in over 60 television commercials, including spots for Pizza Hut and Wendy’s. Her early exposure paved the way for her breakthrough role in the 1998 remake of “The Parent Trap,” where she played dual roles. Her performance was widely praised, and this success led to a contract with Disney.
Her first significant paycheck came from the 2003 comedy “Freaky Friday,” for which she earned $550,000. This role solidified her status as a Hollywood star and led to starring roles in “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen” (2004) and “Mean Girls” (2004), each earning her $1 million. These successes significantly boosted her early career earnings.
In 2005, Lohan’s earning power increased drastically. She received a $7.5 million paycheck for “Herbie: Fully Loaded,” a Disney remake.

In 2012, Lohan earned $300,000 for her role in “Liz & Dick.” In the same year, she participated in a multi-part interview series with Oprah Winfrey, earning a reported $2 million. Much of this income was allocated to the IRS, rehab fees, and other outstanding debts.

Expenses and Financial Management

She accumulated a $40,000 bill at a tanning salon, a $90,000 bill at a limousine company, a $144,000 storage locker bill, and a $46,000 tab at the luxury hotel Chateau Marmont.
She purchased an $80,000 Porsche and gave her mom $40,000 to save their Long Island home from foreclosure. Additionally, she faced significant legal expenses, spending nearly $300,000 on attorney fees since 2010. She also failed to pay $234,000 in taxes for 2009-2010.
In 2013, sources reported that Lohan had to move back in with her mother in Long Island due to insufficient funds for even a simple two-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles. The average rent for such an apartment would cost roughly $2,500 per month to rent, suggesting that Lohan did not have $7,500 to her name.
Real Estate and Business Ventures
In May 2018, Lohan opened a resort called “Lohan Beach House Mykonos” on the Greek island of Mykonos. Later, she opened a second resort in Ialysos Beach, Rhodes, called “Lohan Beach House Rhodes.” These ventures marked her foray into the hospitality industry.
