There are very few people in the world who we can safely say do not need any more money, but among them would most certainly be Scarlett Johansson and Christina Aguilera.
Still, Christopher Chaney, the unfortunate, depressed Florida man who hacked both women's cell phones and distributed the nude pictures he found therein, has been sentenced to pay each victim -- as well as The Secret Life of the American Teenager actress Renee Olstead, whom he also hacked -- tens of thousands of dollars, altogether. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chaney has been ordered by a judge to pay $76,767.35 to Olstead, $66,179.46 to Johansson and $7,500 to Aguilera.
The Reporter notes that the figures could represent one of a few things: How much Chaney sold the photographs for, how much they're estimated to be valued at, or how much the ladies spent in lawyers fees and in trying to get the images removed from the internet.
