Octomom Nadya Suleman, mom of 14 agreed to pose topless for a European magazine Closer because she needed the money.

The mom of 14 – Elijah, Amerah, Joshua, Aiden, twins Caleb and Calyssa, and octuplets Isaiah, Jonah, Josiah, Jeremiah, Maliyah, Makai, Nariyah, and Noah- is having a hard time supporting her family and is currently on welfare support.

So how much did she get for the racy photos? “I got $8,000,” she tells Anderson Cooper of the paltry sum. “I have to do what I have to do to take care of my family, and I’m not ashamed. I’m not ashamed at all…I’ve never sacrificed my morals and values.”

“I am covered [in the photos]. I had to think about that. I reflected on that quite a bit before choosing to do it,” she added. “I discussed it with my children openly.”

However, she openly admitted the obvious fact, “I’ll be honest, I did it for money.”

In the interview with Closer magazine, she speaks highly of herself as a mom. “I’m such a good mother,” she said with conviction. “I’m so loving, and my kids are so happy. There’s never been a time I’ve regretted having so many.”

Nadya is moving (or getting evicted) from her La Habra home, as she has been struggling to meet her mortgage payments.

Maybe she and Michelle Duggar can have a talk about “overpopulation” now.
