Having son Bronx Mowgli Wentz apparently gives a fortune to Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz. The couple reportedly will receive $2 million for the first exclusive photos of their newborn baby.

"I see Ashlee and Pete coming in at the low seven figures mark," publicist Howard Bragman revealed. "Two million seems like a good, solid figure for Ashlee and Pete. It's a two-celeb couple, so that's a boost for them."

"Keep in mind, last year, Ashlee was the girl who sang along to the tape recorder. It was a PR nightmare. Now, she's a newlywed and a new mom, so she's a lot more relatable," he continued. The publicist also said the 24-year-old singer should take heed from Hollywood golden couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who reportedly received $20 million for the first pictures with their twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon.

"Nobody does this better than Angelina," Howard added. "She and Brad Pitt have been very careful to make it clear that the money they've been getting has been part of their charity outreach work. The big bucks are a nice perk, but for them, the publicity is priceless."
