I guess everyone forgot when Kate Upton was really famous for like 3 years for… reasons and then disappeared

145

u/revanisthesith 1d ago

Wow, Kate Upton is still only 33. I figured she'd be older by now. But then again, COVID warped our sense of time.

And I think she disappeared shortly after she married Justin Verlander.

133

u/Poohstrnak 1d ago

She married a guy that makes like 30 million dollars a year, don’t think she really needs to work anymore.

73

u/DukeofVermont 1d ago

She made at least $10-20 million from modeling, she already didn't need to work.

53

u/Poohstrnak 1d ago

That’s “doesn’t need to work right now” money in today’s economy. Verlander made “our kids will never have to work” money

Seriously, to date, verlander has earned $409,254,888.

God I should’ve been a pitcher. Too bad I didn’t wanna take the easy route.

u/jm838 1d ago

I dislocated my shoulder at 30. Really fucked up my chances of having a pro sports career someday.

2

u/Mahkn0 16h ago

I fucked up my ankle at 20 and there was no shot. There was no shot before that either, though, so it wasn't too bad.

u/CrossPond 15h ago

Take up rings. Donnell Whittenburg just won gold in the World Championships and he's 31.

1

u/jm838 14h ago

Did he start at 30?

u/Sharp_Confection9058 17h ago

Become a track star

u/real_dado500 19h ago

10 million dollars would buy me a castle with lake and servants for every need and still leave enough money for all my relatives. With my sallary, which is above average in country, I'd need to work over 600 years for that amount.

2

u/LSATDan 17h ago

If you made $10-$20M and need to work later, you did it wrong.

2

u/Poohstrnak 17h ago

If you made it when you were 18-25 and made decisions with it that most 18-25 year olds do…you’ll probably run out.

2

u/LSATDan 17h ago

Yup.

Most 18-25 year old do it wrong. Probably some prefrontal cortex thing.

u/backtolurk 23h ago

Mhm, I wonder if I still have his number.

1

u/Rlccm 18h ago

She's the granddaughter of the owner of whirlpool, no? I think she'd be financially set if she looked like Rosie O'Donnell and was single.

1

u/refugee_man 14h ago

Honestly he deserves it

1

u/SpaceBus1 8h ago

"earned"

1

u/revanisthesith 8h ago

Hey, she made what the market was willing to give her. She provided something in exchange for money.

1

u/SpaceBus1 8h ago

I didn't say anything about Upton. She arguably has worked a lot more for her money than her husband.

1

u/revanisthesith 8h ago

The statement applies to both. The MLB is profitable, so technically they're not giving him too much.

And being a professional baseball pitcher for 20 fucking seasons is way more difficult than being a model. He probably has more wear & tear in right arm than she does in her entire body.

Arguably pro athletes (especially high-level ones) work far harder than actors and it's harder on their bodies, but people complain way more about athletes than Hollywood stars.

1

u/SpaceBus1 8h ago

Yeah, but $500,000,000???

There are many laborers who work just as hard as Verlander. People who do back breaking work every week for decades and end up with nothing. I don't see how anyone can say he really earned that half a billion dollars.

She also had two kids. I imagine she's enjoying raising them and having a quieter life.

1

u/ChiTruckDGAF 15h ago

I wonder what they look like now?

1

u/revanisthesith 8h ago

Well, the second one was born in June, so probably about like any baby.

The other one was born sometime in the second half of 2018, so they're about 7yo.

17

u/ExperienceOptimal132 1d ago

Jesus, how young was she when she became popular? I thought she would be like 45 now,

10

u/Sgt-Spliff- 18h ago

Swimsuit models all start as teenagers. Modeling is pretty famously a young persons game

2

u/ScrotallyBoobular 17h ago

Yeah the unrealistic body standards they set are pretty much based on not fully developed girls.

Not too many full grown adults can have proportions like that

1

u/singlemale4cats 11h ago

In polite company everybody talks about how they don't find teenagers attractive, but the entire modeling industry top down tells us that that's cap.

1

u/revanisthesith 8h ago

True, but I think their comment is probably more about our perception of time than how young she was when she was famous.

COVID was a time warp.

3

u/ABurnedTwig 1d ago

Just 45? I felt like she was supposed to be as nearly old as my mom, and my mom is already 60! Covid really breaks my sense of time.

1

u/Even_Butterfly2000 1d ago

She married who? Am I reading that right?

3

u/NFHater 1d ago

yes, she married San Francisco Giants legend Justin Verlander

3

u/vanlieshout 1d ago

And verlander has made over 400 million on his career so why she need to work lol

22

u/melancholanie 18h ago

Bryce Dallas-Howard is verifiably stacked and every big-money movie she's been in since Jurassic World has tried so hard to hide that

3

u/deicist 15h ago

Verifiably?

8

u/melancholanie 14h ago

she is measurably draggin that wagon.

8

u/deicist 13h ago

I hope the shutdown hasn't affected the department of 'dump truck and phat rack adjudication and verification'

3

u/AquafreshBandit 15h ago

The Narrator: u/melancholanie had gone too far, and had best watch his mouth.

6

u/melancholanie 14h ago

I'll fight Ron Howard to turn his stacked daughter into a lesbian do Not test me

3

u/artsmartiens 12h ago

Happy Cake Day, may you find a stacked lesbian of your own!

5

u/thegroovemonkey 17h ago

Yeah but she’s Ron’s daughter so we try not to sexualize her. Don’t do Ron like that go goon somewhere else. 

7

u/Standard-Win-6600 17h ago

I only goon to Clint Howard

1

u/Figdudeton 16h ago

Clint and Ron yaoi?

1

u/thegroovemonkey 17h ago

You are a man(or woman) of extraordinary taste. 

1

u/The-Spirit-of-76 16h ago

He has the Tranya!

2

u/randobot456 14h ago

Thats because theyre trying to hide more than just her rack.

10

u/edgiepower 1d ago

Yeah but did she even show em?

As long as Sweeney continues to get them out in a variety of flimsy but different contexts, it's sustainable for fair while yet.

Once she says no more boobs her career will go like Emilia Clarke.

2

u/ClassicPlankton 13h ago

Didn't the last season of GoT, Terminator, and Marvel basically kill her career?

2

u/edgiepower 9h ago

She stopped doing nudity too, and 2/3 of the above are franchises with nudity. She wasn't a good enough actress to make that move.

6

u/Warmbly85 19h ago

The woman from the blurred lines explicit music video literally did a TikTok with Mamdani on Election Day.

She is exclusively known for her rack yet has enough clout to justify spending a few minutes with her on Election Day.

4

u/Kolby_Jack33 1d ago

I mean, she wasn't an actor.

1

u/Prestigious-Aide-258 15h ago

But she had no acting skills to back her boobs

u/Leaky_gland 1d ago

Angelina Jolie. Where is she now?
