Matt Gaetz, the former Florida congressman, has entered the Cameo marketplace, offering fans personalized video messages for $500. This move follows Gaetz's resignation last week, ahead of the release of a House ethics report investigating allegations of misconduct, including claims of paying an underage girl for sex—allegations Gaetz has repeatedly denied.
On his Cameo profile, Gaetz describes himself as a former congressman and recalls notable moments from his controversial career, such as triggering the unprecedented ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in October 2023. His page also references his failed nomination by Donald Trump to become U.S. attorney general.
Initially charging $250 per video, Gaetz quickly doubled his rate to $500, matching Cameo fees of other scandal-plagued figures like former Congressman George Santos. Gaetz offers customized messages for occasions such as birthdays, weddings, and even roasts, promising creativity and humor in each video.
Cameo has become a go-to platform for political figures navigating public fallout, with Gaetz joining a roster that includes Rudy Giuliani and Rod Blagojevich. As Gaetz's Cameo venture garners attention, it reflects a growing trend of embattled public figures leveraging their notoriety for financial opportunities.
