I don't agree. But if you'd like another example: Hulk Hogan got $115MM personally from Gawker, over a sex tape.


Apples & oranges again? Hogan is a public figure who might actually lose out on a hundred mil due to reputation damage. A average middle class USA family, not so much.

Anyway if it isn't punitive shouldn't there be some kind of account for how the number was arrived at? I don't see it in the article.


If I could get $115M for a sex tape, I'd be making one every week.
