A picture is worth $2 million?  
  
They are if you are Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz and someone wants the exclusive first pics of your baby bad enough.  
  
Monsters and Critics.com is reporting that the couple could get $2 million for the first pics of their new born son, Bronx Mowgli Wentz.  
  
Publicist Howard Bragman stated, "I see Ashlee and Pete coming in at the low seven figures mark. Two million seems like a good, solid figure for Ashlee and Pete. It's a two-celeb couple, so that's a boost for them."  
  
Not surprisingly, the values of celebrity pics go up and down based on status and popularity.  
  
Bragman added, "Keep in mind, last year, Ashlee was the girl who sang along to the tape recorder. It was a PR nightmare. Now, she's a newlywed and a new mom, so she's a lot more relatable." His advice for the couple would be for them to learn from Angelina Jolie and [Brad Pitt](http://thecelebritycafe.com/bio/brad-pitt) who have made millions off pictures of their children.  
  
"Nobody does this better than Angelina. She and [Brad Pitt](http://thecelebritycafe.com/bio/brad-pitt) have been very careful to make it clear that the money they've been getting has been part of their charity outreach work. The big bucks are a nice perk, but for them, the publicity is priceless."
