When Lindsay Lohan flew to London for a New Year’s bash, it wasn't to polish her accent or enjoy the rainy weather. Turns out there was a financial incentive -- a billionaire Middle Eastern prince offered $100,000 for her company for one night. You know, because Lindsay is such a great conversationalist. Maybe he wanted her to a dramatic reading of Shakespeare sonnets.

The New York Daily News hints that this curious financial arrangement pushes legal boundaries, and her piece-of-work father asked, “Now she’s getting paid for dates?”

Prince Haji Abdul Azim, who’s obsessed with Hollywood celebrities, flew Lohan to London for his lavish party. An insider says (quote) “Prince Azim not only flew her out; he put her up in a beautiful suite in the Dorchester for the weekend and following the party. Lindsay went because she’s that desperate for a paycheck.”

Prince Azim also reportedly paid Lionel Ritchie $250,000 to sing and Pamela Anderson $75,000 just to show up.
