Cashing In on the Movie
After the worldwide success of the rom-com movie, the Beverly Wilshere hotel used a lot during the filming, also capitalized on the fame that the movie had garnered. The hotel now offers a luxurious “Pretty Woman experience” that costs $100,000. Wild, right? But it’s actually a very common practice to jump onto the bandwagon of fame to make some money.

The Pretty Woman experience includes shopping with a personal stylist and a wardrobe consultant, a personal chauffeur who would drive you around Rodeo Drive, a VIP suite, a couple’s massage, and a special menu from the executive chef. No wonder the experience costs so much; it’s like being treated by your very own Edward Lewis, except that you have to cough up the cash yourself.
