From instantly famous catch phrases to viral auto-tune remixs...stay tuned to number 1
to find out who made 3 million dollars from McDonalds in a single instant!
Number 10: Danielle Bregoli
You may know her as the "Cash me ousside" girl, who shot to fame in 2016 after appearing
in a Dr. Phil episode where he tried to help her through her rebelliousness.
Unfortunately, though, it seems that all it did was bring her into the publics' eye and
the living breathing meme quickly shot to internet fame through her now famous line
"Cash me ousside.
How bow dah."
Danielle used the fame to her advantage to get noticed by the record label Atlantic Records,
setting her up to quickly become a millionaire.
Operating under the name Bhad Bhabie she has already released multiple hits and her first
single called "These Heaux" is, as of early 2018 is sitting on 62 million views.
Despite her getting a lot of hate from people stating that she is setting a bad example
through her music, being just 15 years old, it has not deterred her from continuing to
release music you may not expect from somebody so young, and she continues to become a rising
star all because of that one famous line.
Number 9: Honey Boo Boo.
Toddlers and Tiaras is not typically a program where you would expect to see the beginning
of a rise to fame, however in season 5 of the show we were introduced to 6 year old
Honey Boo Boo.
She immediately became a hit through her multiple catch phrases and her sassy confidence and,
before long, she and her family had their own TV show called "Here comes Honey Boo Boo,"
the program followed the family around in their day to day life and featured her mother,
June Shannon and the rest of her family.
The show was cancelled in 2014 after just 3 seasons and the family went quiet for some
time until 2017 where a new show was announced where they would be following Honey Boo Boos
mother this time, and her incredible weight lose through multiple surgeries to remove
excess fat and skin.
The new program, called "Mama June: from not to hot," has recently concluded its first
season but is set to continue sometime in 2018, re-launching this families lives into
the spotlight.
Number 8: Laina Morris.
When Laina Morris entered a competition in 2012 she had no idea that it would launch
her into fame that would change the course of her life.
Known as the "Overly Attached Girlfriend," Laina became an overnight celebrity, with
her face becoming the poster for crazy stalker type girlfriends.
Although she didn't win the competition, which was a Justin Bieber competition where people
had to upload their own renditions of his famed song Boyfriend, she had won internet
fame and her face became so well known that she would even be stopped in the street for
photos.
She has even appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon!
Since her practically overnight rise to fame she has become a full time YouTuber, and has
already gained over 1.5 million subscribers.
And all of this fame can be traced back to one simple video made 6 years ago and her
achieving just the right level of crazy for it.

Number 7: Victoria Waldrip.
This 17 year old teen, better known as "Woah Vicky," is having a serious identity crisis
and is using it to her full advantage.
Woah Vicky is a blonde, fair skinned teenager from Atlanta, Georgia who is convinced that
she is African American.
She has supposedly known her whole life that she is black, despite her family assuring
her that she is actually white...much like they are.
And, if you look at her you would probably agree...until she shows you her DNA test,
which, unsurprisingly, says that she is indeed somewhere between 45% and 25% African descent.
She has adopted the same stereotypical mannerisms you might expect to see from somebody deliberately
imitating another race, including a very interesting take on an urban/Southern accent.
Today, you can find her on social media teaching you how to twerk, or perhaps how to buy and
use weaves, or she could be doing make up tutorials.
She has learned to capitalize on the attention she is getting, both good and bad, and is
using Instagram for paid promotions.
Woah Vicky can even be hired to make appearances!
This approach has made her a killing, and she is currently worth roughly 500,000 dollars!
Number 6: Maggie Goldenberger.
While we are on people made famous with just a picture of their face, we have to mention
Maggie Goldenberger, or as you probably know her Ermahgerd Gersberms girl.
The wide-eyed girl with pigtails, an ugly vest and a handful of Goosebumps books.
In an interview she once stated that when she saw the picture appear on Facebook in
2012 she had no idea what was starting, the photo was of her at the age of 12, and she
and her friends had dressed up and she was imitating somebody obsessed with the books.
Despite the photo being over 10 years old at the time it was posted, it quickly became
famous, with people adding their own captions into the picture as well as photoshopping
different objects into her hands.
Today, she says that she is not embarrassed by the photo, as she was dressed up, and so
it didn't reflect how she actually is, adding that although it wasn't an ideal way to become
famous, at least she had her few minutes in the spotlight!
Number 5: Chris Crocker.
This is another name you may not instantly recognize, but he is one of the first stars
of YouTube and, back in 2007 when he rose to fame, he was basically a household name.
If you don't know yet who we're talking about, he is the "leave Britney alone right now"
guy, who appeared in a video in 2007 wearing a blonde wig and mascara running down his
cheeks, demanding that people leave Britney alone.
This came after Britney Spear's terrible performance at the 2007 VMA\'s where she was ridiculed
for both her song as well as her choice of wardrobe.
Shortly after all the hate started flying about Britney, Chris uploaded the video, in
an obviously emotional state, saying that Britney should be left alone and people would
need to go through him first to get to her.
This helped him become an instant sensation, spawning hundreds of remakes by other people
as well as the all-famous auto tune.
Today Chris looks nothing like the wig wearing wreck we all knew, and since then he has starred
in a pornographic movie and has even done some work as a model.
Number 4: Antoine Dodson.
When he stepped in front of the news camera in 2010 to speak about his sisters alleged
attempted rape, Antoine Dodson had no idea that he was about to make himself into both
a meme as well as an internet celebrity.
If you don't recognize the name, he is the guy that stood in front of cameras stating
that "There is a rapist in Lincoln Park, he's climbin' in your windows, he's snatching your
people up, trying to rape them.
So y'all need to hide your kids, hide your wife, hide your husband cause they raping
everybody out here."
This simple sentence became a bigger hit than the story it was about and it quickly went
viral on YouTube, bringing out the ever famous auto-tune song named the "Bed Intruder Song,"
and a ton of remixes and variations of his words beside this, with the original Bed Intruder
Song even making it to number 89 on the Billboards hot 100 list, selling over 250,000 copies!
Number 3: The Kardashians.
Surprisingly enough, the Kardashians, while they have always been extremely wealthy, have
not always been the center of attention...with their lives being broadcast to the world.
The family was first noticed in 1995 when their father, Robert Kardashian, was part
of the legal team defending OJ Simpson in what is still one of the biggest trials in
history.
Although the trial began to shed some light on the family, it wasn't until 2007 when Kris
Kardashian thought that her family deserved its own show and pitched the idea to Ryan
Seacrest who...accepted, probably not realizing exactly what he was starting.
The program first aired in October 2007 and had a decent enough viewership, but not great.
That is...until in that very same year a certain tape featuring Kim Kardashian and rapper Ray
J became public knowledge, rocketing the Kardashian name front and center and simultaneously shedding
that last bit of light on the family that they needed.
Since then the family has continued to keep the show going through the publicizing of
their breakups, their babies and their relationships.
Number 2: The Duggar Family.
There are tons of big families out there and, while it might not be all that common, there
are families with 5 or even 6 children out there.
However, there are some families out there that consider 6 a few too little and have
continued to grow their family to almost cartoonish sizes.
Enter the Duggar family; currently sitting on 19 children and many grandchildren besides,
they first decided to cash in on their family size in 2008 by starring in a TV show that
followed them around in their daily lives as a family with 17 children, then as a family
with 18 children, and finally ending up with 19 children by the time the series concluded
in 2015 following a police report that emerged, revealing that the eldest of the children
had sexually molested 5 young girls, including 4 of his sisters.
With this said, a few of the older children have had spin off programs, following them
as they continue to grow the Duggar family to the size of a small village.
Number1: Stella Liebeck.
There is a rather good chance that you have heard of this story, even if you do not recognise
the name; as legend goes, a woman bought a cup of coffee from McDonalds and spilled it
over her lap while driving causing severe burns and a lawsuit against McDonalds that
ended up paying her almost 3 million dollars by the end of it all.
Stella Liebeck is this woman, and it is no myth.
In 1992, she bought a coffee from McDonalds and did indeed burn herself when adding sugar
and cream to the cup, third degree burns no less, and it resulted in her needing a skin
graft on her inner thighs to replace the damaged tissue.
While you may argue whose fault it is, this case paved the way for future lawsuits against
companies, where people would sue companies for ridiculous reasons.
Now, Stella Liebeck had ONLY asked for McDonalds to pay her exorbitant doctors bills, and only
sued after the fast food company refused.
A jury of her peers felt they should have helped, though, springing her into the spotlight.
What do you think about these infamous stars?
