How much money did the tabloid pay for the picture of Michael Phelps smoking weed?

That is something we probably will never know. The "News of the World" pretty much makes a living by paying for stories and pictures. A guess though would be that it went for a couple of thousand, as the information is "evaluated" by the paper and they always low ball. Most people dont hold out for much money even if the information is about your "best friend".
