> But that said, she's incredibly successful beyond that, at least in part because of her ability to generate free publicity at will.

For an honest comparison you should compare what she did vs. the alternative scenario of her disappearing from public life after the porn video, not working a single day further at all and just scouting for a good money manager (her family know plenty for sure..both for real estate business and for capital markets at large). Compounding money in the markets is very powerful, even if her carrer made her just as much money, she still had to do some work.

EDIT: I realize people need a purpose and so not working at all could be very bad for you.
