The image of Zoe Roth, her small face grinning somewhat ominously at the camera while firefighters work to save a burning home behind her, has made the rounds online for years. The image of Roth, taken in 2005 near a planned and controlled burn, became an iconic meme known as “Disaster Girl.” Now, 16 years after the image was snapped, “Disaster Girl” has made Roth, 21, roughly $430,000.
