Octomom took the money she saved from making her porn flick and put it toward a good cause: a new home.
Octomom, otherwise known as Nadya Suleman, leased a house in California for her and her 14 children using the money she made from her porn film, "Home Alone," TMZ reports.
The house is situated in Palmdale, Calif., and features five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a three-car garage and a 14,000-square-foot backyard. The home reportedly costs Suleman $2,150 per month in rent.
Octomom has been looking for a new home since her La Habra abode went into foreclosure in June. She spent the summer begging for money from fans and offering dates for cash.
Back in July, Steve Javors of AVN.com, a news site focusing on the adult industry, spoke to The Huffington Post about the cash Suleman could receive from her porn gig.
He said money from online subscriptions to Wicked Entertainment, which distributed the DVD, could show up immediately, while money from DVD sales would likely take longer to trickle in.
"I don't know the financial arrangements, or if it's based on sales, but my educated guess is that she got a healthy performance fee upfront," Javors told HuffPost's David Moye. "With all the piracy, it's possible many people will see it on the 'tube' sites for free."
Not only did she get paid, she got empowered.
"It has been the most empowering, liberating thing I have ever done,” Suleman told HLN's Dr. Drew about doing porn. “There is nothing I won't do to take care of my family. I'm not a porn star.” Adding, “I had full control and power over my choice. I take full accountability and I'm proud of it.”
Suleman first agreed to do the porno to help pay her bills. She went off welfare in March and had to find a way to make ends meet.
