If you’re ever selected to get a star on the walk of fame, you have to pay $30,000 to get it!

Having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a huge honor. Specific requirements are laid out for those actors, musicians, directors, producers and others who earn a spot on the walk.

There are over 2,500 stars embedded along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. The walk is administered by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and attracts millions of visitors every year.

However, receiving a star on the famed walk isn't all, well, receiving. It turns out it actually costs you money. Or at least it costs the person or entity nominating you.

This fee was instituted in 1980 at $2,500 to fund the walk's upkeep and minimize taxpayer burden. As of 2012, this fee had reached $30,000.
