For $200,000 you can have Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning as the guest of honor at your daughter's Sweet 16 birthday party. Read all about it at Deadspin...
Note: I'm fairly certain the female in the picture is not the Sweet 16. Judging by the pictures she's either the mom or the step-mom.

$100,000 per hour?
Stories like this bring out the residual communist in my otherwise conservative worldview. $200K to get someone to show up at a party is defacto proof that some people have far too much money.

This has not been on the Indianapolis news at all--so I believe there is a "catch" to the story...like maybe an SNL skit (referring to all of his commercials) for his upcoming appearance.
On the other hand, it could be a legitimate charge going to his Peyback Foundation. Peyton raises HUGE amounts of money for various charities. If he's not #1 with philanthropy in the NFL, he's near the top.
Peyton does not need the money!

Kevin...that dish may not be sixteen but she doesn't look 36 or 46 either. If she IS the mom, she kept it together...dang.
Hate to break it to you, Dear, but "keeping it together" is easy if you've got the trainer, Botox-purveying dermatologist, spa cuisine chef, plastic surgeon and stylist on 'speed dial'. If you have $200,000 to hire Peyton Manning for your daughter's "Sweet 16" party, than upkeep expenses of the wife is a given expense!

News from the Indianapolis Star regarding this:
""It wasn't a 'Sweet 16' party. It was a corporate outing,'"... ""Peyton, like many athletes, performers and celebrities, occasionally agrees to offers for private appearances.""

Guess Manning needs more of the limelight... you know, since he'll never see another Super Bowl victory again.

If she really is 16, I hope she avoids Hollywood, modeling agencies, and plastic surgeons lke the plague.
