Let me get this straight...The Company loaned her the money based on her word? She wouldn’t let them in her home so they just took her word for it? And now they’re mad at HER? This is absurd.

This butt-ugly dyke sounds like she did a Michael Jackson, who borrowed against the Beatles Catalog.

However, lefties are saying Annie is a victim of the "gay tax", by which she was screwed when her ex-lover Susan Sontag died and left her properties in her will. The problem is, even with gay marrage, they had broken up and were living with others, so it doesn't even apply.

So who’s the guy?

I think it's Howard Stern when he had his hair dyed yellow.

No question about it, the girl can take a picture. If I could afford her, well......

Annie's done some GREAT work:

I still respect a mediocre painter or sketch artist over a "great" photographer. Annie is one of the luckiest broads in the world to have branded herself as the preferred person to point cameras at celebrities and push a button. The last two pictures you posted looked like simple point-and-shoot photos that anybody could have done. The picture of the Queen is quite nice though. Putting flamesuit on just in case.

Maybe posthumously they are worth some more bucks?

40 years as a keen amateur photographer here - not that it means that much but -

Its a rather different skill than drawing, etc., but it is surprisingly difficult to get a “wow” picture like some of these people do on a regular basis.

Even in the case of a revealing portrait that LOOKS like it could have been taken by Joe Blow with a point&shoot - well, Joe Blows rarely take such pictures even when they try. It just ain’t that easy.

I agree with you. Thing is with Leibovitz is that she became the "in thing" in terms of photography. She has a great eye for that, and it drew some big celebs. She got some great shots. But............20+Million worth? I don't get that.........

It is that easy. She’s not one in a million, she’s more like one in a hundred photographers. Her great talent was access not photography.

Marc Hauser is as good, but you likely never heard of him.
