As one of Hollywood's hottest young starlets Emma Roberts certainly has some cash to splash.
So the 21-year-old did just that when she teamed up with her close pal, photographer Tyler Shields, for his latest photo shoot.
Roberts can be seen getting creative with a wad of money as she poses in a series of seductive poses.
Splashing some cash: Emma Roberts makes it rain money in her latest shoot with pal Tyler Shields
The Virginia actress looks stunning wearing just a black strapless jumpsuit and lashings of scarlet lipstick, tying her caramel locks off her naturally pretty face.
She fans herself and even bites into a stack of 100 dollar bills, all before casually throwing the money into the air and watching it fall like rain around her.
One of the photographs from the alluring photo shoot was used as the cover image for Shields' latest book, Richest Man - a prequel to his first novel, Smartest Man.

Money to burn: Tyler's cover for his new book Richest Man is as controversial as ever
However the cover is likely to land Shields in even more hot water as it sees Roberts holding a 100 dollar bill which has been lit on fire.
The photographer has come under attack after he destroyed a $100,000 Hermes Birkin bag and snapped pictures of the process for his art.
Both Shields and his girlfriend Francesca Eastwood, who appeared in the photos, have received abusive messages over the internet since the venture.
The destruction of the designer accessory was shown on the 19-year-old's family's E! reality TV show, Mrs Eastwood and Company.
But while depicting that he quite literally has money to burn has caused a backlash, the toast of Tinseltown are still lining up around the block to work with the photographer.
Shields is famed for his creative and controversial shoots with the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, Demi Lovato, and members of the casts of Glee and Revenge.
Richest Man by Tyler Shields is available on Amazon now.

Forex: EUR/USD falls as G7 disappoints; focus now on ECB, FED - NASDAQ
FXstreet.com (San Francisco) - The euro managed to lose ground against the dollar on Tuesday after the G7 meeting failed to produce concrete solutions to address the problems in Spain and Greece.
EUR/USD touched a 5-day high of 1.2540 in earlier trade, but then pulled back to as low as 1.2409 before closing the North American session down 0.4% on the day to 1.2451.
If the bear pressure continues, EUR/USD may encounter support at 1.2394 (intraday), while resistance lies at 1.2492 (intraday)
The focus now shifts to the ECB later today and the Fed meeting on Thursday. In the global day ahead, the ECB's June interest rate decision will be risk event for EUR. The testimony on Thursday by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will be risk event for the greenback, as traders will be looking for clues about the possibility of more quantitative easing, a USD-negative proposition.
Money as speech’ issue back before City Council - Chicago Sun-Times
By Hank Beckman For The Sun June 5, 2012 9:14PM
Updated: June 5, 2012 9:38PM
The Move to Amend movement made its second appearance before the Naperville City Council Tuesday, asking the body to support a constitutional amendment to abolish “corporate personhood” and the doctrine of “money as speech.”
Supporter Keith Klingeman said the 37 members of his group, many wearing white T-shirts with “99%” stickers on them, joined with “many other brother and sister coalitions throughout the nation” in asking Congress to overturn “Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission,” the 2009 Supreme Court ruling that said that corporations and unions are allowed to spend an unlimited amount of money on electioneering activities due to First Amendment guarantees.
Klingeman said that money has a corrupting influence on politics, saying that Congress was “too busy raising money” to address the problems of the nation.
John Laesch, representing the Northern Illinois Jobs with Justice Coalition, spoke of what he called the “pay to play” environment in Springfield, pointing to what he said was an $85 million tax break given to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange as an example of corporations getting too much from the government.
Laesch said that such corporate gifts were one reason that there was support in the General Assembly for returning teacher pension obligations to local school districts.
“It (corporate influence) has a huge impact,” Laesch said, “because the state is facing a deficit, partly because it gives money to special interests.”
Councilman Bob Fieseler asked how Naperville government could impact the problem of corporate influence.
Klingeman didn’t point to a specific action the council could take, other than passing the resolution in support of the amendment, but stressed that corporations got subsidies in return for their campaign contributions, which he said distorts the price of their products.
“It affects us at a larger level, but it needs a grassroots solution,” he said.
Councilman Joe McElroy asked if their was a legislative solution that didn’t involve a constitutional amendment.
Amendment supporter Kathy Franke responded, “There is no legislative solution,” and Laesch said that Congress could pass tougher campaign finance laws, but it would probably be overridden by the Citizens United ruling.
McElroy remained unconvinced.
“I don’t see going through local government as the way to do it,” he said.
To date, there has been no support expressed by anyone on City Council for putting the proposed resolution to a vote.

TD Bank Issues Counterfeit Money Without A Refund: Report [UPDATED] - Huffington Post
Imagine withdrawing money from a bank and then finding out that the money is counterfeit and cannot be refunded.
That recently happened to William Hagman, 68, of Morris Plains, New Jersey, the New Jersey Star-Ledger reports.
This article has been updated with a comment from Hagman to The Huffington Post.
Hagman withdrew $2,500 from his savings account at TD Bank in February, according to the Star-Ledger. Then he went to Bank of America to deposit the money, only to find out from the teller that one of the $100 bills was counterfeit.
He reported it to the Secret Service and went back to TD Bank to get a refund, but the supervisor said that was against the bank's policy, since he already had left the bank with the cash. "I asked why a bank customer, me in this case, should have to serve as this bank's 'quality control officer,'" Hagman told the Star-Ledger.
Hagman told The Huffington Post that he now tells friends that withdraw large amounts of money to tell the bank to "scan every single bill because you don't want counterfeit money in your hand."
Hagman has withdrawn all $16,000 from his savings account at TD Bank, since "they treated me horribly," he said.
"I'm very angry because the second bank, within 5 mintues, they used an automated counter and they picked up the bill immediately," he said. "TD Bank, you mean you don't have the same technology?"
Counterfeit money has become dangerously widespread. Slightly less than 2 percent of the U.S. money supply is counterfeit, according to Secret Service data cited by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. But other government officials have said that less than one percent of the U.S. money supply is counterfeit, according to WAVY-TV 10 and the Star-Ledger.
The problem is growing. The amount of counterfeit U.S. money that the government has removed from circulation has more than doubled from $103 million to $261 million over a recent three-year period, according to the Kansas City Star.
Linda Barger, a woman in Chesapeake, Virginia, received a counterfeit $20 bill at Farm Fresh supermarket and tried to use it at KFC, only to find out from the cashier that it was counterfeit, according to WAVY-TV 10.
Counterfeit money enters the money supply once it is accepted by a retailer such as a bank or a store. Then it can change hands multiple times until someone gets stuck with the "hot potato," according to a Secret Service officer quoted by the Los Angeles Times. It may also enter circulation via scammers working on a large scale. Just ask the Sears store in Des Moines where two men stole $850 worth of clothing using counterfeit money and got a $850 refund in real money, according to the Des Moines Register.
People that receive counterfeit money and find out that it is counterfeit later generally are stuck with it, even if it came from a government-run office such as the post office, the Los Angeles Times reports. If you receive a counterfeit bill and are told that is counterfeit, do not try to pass it on to someone else, or else you could end up in prison for up to 20 years, according to the Los Angeles Times. Just report it to the Secret Service and move on.
The Secret Service offers these tips for spotting counterfeit bills: Make sure that the portrait is lifelike, that the saw-tooth points of the Federal Reserve and Treasury seals are clear and sharp, that the lines in the border are clear and unbroken, that the serial numbers are evenly spaced and printed in the same color as the Treasury Seal. Real paper money also has tiny red and blue embedded fibers.
Correction: An original version of this story misstated one way of identifying real paper currency. According to the Secret Service, genuine currency has "tiny red and blue fibers embedded throughout." Counterfeit bills sometimes feature red and blue lines made to look like these fibers.
