After revealing that she has made a million a year before, celebrity fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone implied that she wouldn't mind making more.




When speaking with the Huffington Post , Cutrone said that a million bucks is actually small change.




"I personally have made a million dollars a year - that's not a lot of money anymore, just do the math," said Cutrone.




At this point, the fashion pro gave a detailed list of her expenses.




"The taxes alone are at $300,000-$400,000. Then you have agents and managers and business managers that take another 5 percent, throw in private school in New York City, that's like $44,000," said Cutrone who lives in the Soho area of New York with her 12-year-old daughter Ava. "A nanny is like $60,000 to $70,000. I support my mom. A New York apartment, $8,000. A mortgage on my house, another $5,000 and $24,000 in taxes there. It's $650 a month to park my car."




She also admitted to cashing in when doing reality TV.




"I went on the 'The Hills' for free. I thought this is a great way to get my clients' messages out. By the time I left I was making a shit load of money -- like $50,000 an episode. So you do 12 episodes and you make $600,000 dollars - that to me is a good game," she said.




She also credited television for her long lasting career in fashion.




"I've had a great level of success, more than most people in my industry, and I still have to work every day," she said. "The people who I know who have owned PR firms either end up in rehab, they go swim with dolphins, they join Greenpeace, they join a lesbian commune in Vermont or they quietly go away and you don't see them anymore."
