Uwe Troeschel of Germany has offered his face for companies to rent for advertisements.
According to Bild, Troeschel divided his face into several sections, with each going for its own price. If you want your logo or ad appear on his forehead, you’d have to shell out 50,000 euro; each cheek goes for 20,000. Troeschel's nose is offered for quite "affordable" 2000 euro.
If a company doesn’t want competitors on Uwe’s face, or simply wants the whole face for itself, it’ll have to pay 100,000 euro. Troeschel is open to all offers regardless of the brand and its specialization.
Surprisingly enough, it was not financial despair that forced the man to such an unusual means of earning money. It was love for dogs. Troeschel shared his intention to invest the money from the unusual enterprise to fulfill his dream – building a museum dedicated to Saint Bernard dogs.
The idea to use a human body for advertising was first introduced several years ago, when an American lady tattooed GoldenPalace.com on her forehead for $10,000.
In Russia, a similar ad appeared on the back of St. Petersburg resident. She was paid 10,000 rubles (about $340).
