And it seems Teen Mom reality personality and now a porn star is still reaping the benefits of their "investment".
Of the $ 1.5 million in the bank from her sex tape, Tara is seen here running down Miami Beach while mismatched bikini happily playing to the cameras on Saturday.
With her make-up is ideally located, and hair neatly fastened, mother-of-one Tara appeared almost to master the art of slow motion running, as she ran along the shoreline - as if in a scene from Baywatch.
MTV star is clearly enjoying every moment of their time in the spotlight - now her life is punctuated by a series of photography, the media and approvals.
She is currently in Miami celebrating her 22th birthday - a club night away to the vibrant nightlife of the city.
After the release of Miami, she managed to squeeze in another photo opportunity with his mother Debra Danielsen in her hometown of Omaha, Neb., on Sunday.
The pair stopped talking when it was revealed that Tara did X-Rated tape with porn star James Dean at the beginning of this year.
But now they have put their differences aside, or at least before the cameras at them, judging by the pictures from annoying them safely draining the wine and enjoying a decadent chocolate cake.
Tara rose to fame on the MTV series Mom Teen, charting her life as a mother to her daughter Sofia.
Sophia's father Derek Underwood died in a car accident in 2008 while Tara was in her eighth month of pregnancy.
She wrote about her grief in her 2012 memoir, my teenage dream ended.
In addition, her breast augmentation, Tara also had surgery on his nose and chin last year.
Now, it is estimated to have spent $ 21,000 for surgery - $ 16,000 on her face, and $ 5,000 on her chest.
