Lindsay Lohan received a present she won’t forget — she was paid a staggering $70,000 to host her own birthday bash.

Lohan turns 23 on Thursday and she made sure the day would be a profitable one by agreeing to be paid to party at the MDM Grand in Las Vegas.

The venue handed over $70,000 just for the actress to enjoy herself at the poolside event last Saturday, according to New York gossip column Page Six.

As part of the deal, Lohan was expected to pose for snappers, and she did it in style, swapping her bathing costume five times.But it seems the star couldn’t persuade her celebrity pals to join in the money-spinning mission. Her on/off girlfriend Samantha Ronson was absent from the festivities.
