"   Paula Deen was once ranked fourth among top-earning celebrity chefs by Forbes magazine and brought in a total of $17 million last year alone. Now, amidst a scandal that has caused the cancellation of many of her endorsement deals and partnerships, the fallen queen of butter can expect a much smaller payout for the immediate future. According to the New York Daily News, the defunct merchandising and licensing deals total an estimated $7.5 million in losses. Deen&amp;#039;s Food Network show was also cancelled, adding an extra $5 million that won&amp;#039;t ever make it to the bank. The most recent monetary blow came after Random House announced that it would no longer print Deen&amp;#039;s new book, which had jumped to the number 1 spot on Amazon through presales (as a result of the scandal). It is yet to be determined how much Deen lost on the cookbook, but it will surely add to the $12.5 million she has already supposedly lost.
