Is Aum a 40 million baht baby for 2009?

If she was, she probably wouldn’t tell us.

The year of the Ox (2009, if you don’t know your animal years, cause I didn’t. I had to google it) was a big year for 31 year old “Aum” Patcharapa Chaichuea–scandals, break ups, two successful lakorns (Head Wife and Jaew, the wicked one and Godly Chai), a commercial with Korean Boyband Super Junior, she released a sexy photo book for IN magazine photographed by Tada Varich, and she launched her fragrance “Sexy Me” back in August, the only Thai fragrance to be made in France. She was on magazine covers, took part in many events, and according to the media, she might be the highest grossing actress for the year, making more than 40 million baht (1.2 million USD).

When asked about her earnings, she played coy and talked about accepting unusual work events for the year. “Let just say I accepted a lot of unusual work. Normally, I do accept events (she means events, like fashion shows, special appearances for companies, and advertising events). Just this year, I accepted a lot of unusual ones.”

When reporters pointed out that she worked a lot and probably made more than 40 million baht for the year. Aum replied, “I don’t think I made that much.”

Without confirming or denying her large earning for the year, Aum hinted that it might be true by saying for this period, she has been receiving a lot of work. Working a lot means making more money, that is my assumption.
