"Teen Mom" star Farrah Abraham has put her DNA up for sale.
Partnering with a site called CelebrityGene.Com, the 24-year-old actress is selling her DNA in the form of USD 99 vials that can be worn around the necks, reported TMZ.
She was paid USD 30,000 upfront for her DNA sample and will be getting 10 per cent cut from sales.
Abraham was planning to donate half of the salary to the charity Operation Underground Railroad which helps rescue kidnapped children from slavery.
"I'm excited and honoured to partner with Celebrity Gene who has exclusively partnered with some top icons and celebrities in the past," the reality star wrote in the product's description.
"When my daughter Sophia had to get a DNA test, it changed her life and created a better future for her," she continued, referring to the paternity test Sophia underwent to prove that the late Derek Underwood is indeed her father.
"I hope my legacy can change the world for younger generations and save them from sex trafficking for a brighter future," she added.
