How did she get Joe and Chris to pay all the rent and house bills? I didn’t watch during the Chris period but I was there for the Joe period. I just can’t imagine anyone agreeing to pay for everything. Was anyone able to figure out the rent on a condo like theirs?
Chris owned his place so I don’t think he and Elle would have considered that she contribute to his mortgage, especially since they weren’t even married and she wasn’t on the deed. Elle also lived there for an extremely short amount of time so anything bills related probably wasn’t ironed out. Or possibly Chris was just tired of footing the bill for her, LMAO.
As for Joe, they probably did what a lot of couples do, they worked out a way to pay bills based on their individual income and contributed that way. He was crazy enough to move in with her within a year of dating, so it’s not hard for me to imagine him agreeing to paying the bulk of the rent and whatnot. She probably contributed her share of bills based on her investigator salary only, even though she was making decent money with her channel and her side gigs at that time.
As far as how much money Elle has, if anyone has figured out the name of her grandparents’ cosmetics shop or who Elle’s godfather is or what type of career Ginette had, I still don’t think Elle’s got a ton of money or has wealth. If she were really that rich, we would know about it by now, given that she’s been on YouTube for like, what, 12 years? The fact that she is purposely vague about her background and that no one can figure it out makes me think she’s just middle/upper middle class,
which is completely OK, BTW!!! I’m not rich either in case anyone thinks I’m being elitist here.
I’ve watched a lot of other youtubers and I’ve noticed most followers have been able to figure out what kind of background they come from or what their family/spouse makes. I mean, take LVloverCC, people knew her husband was a doctor for YEARS just based on Google alone, meanwhile Elle has been trying to pull everyone’s chain that she’s a “lawyer” and shops without giving a damn that Joe foots the bill on the household.
Same with Sophie Shohet, her husband makes a ton of money and she makes a decent income, too, with her real-life job. There’s also another youtuber (British), can’t think of her name but I believe people found out she came from wealth based on her parents’ name…? Better yet, if any of you follow the Try Guys from Buzzfeed, people figured out Ariel Fulmer came from wealth based on her maiden name. Anyway, my point is if we can’t figure out what Elle’s grandma’s shop is, it probably wasn’t even well-known or as successful as Elle makes it out to be.
I also wanted to add in no way am I saying Elle is working class. She’s got a TON of privileges most people couldn’t afford. But I think the money is bound to run out sooner or later. She’s clearly had to adjust her spending. She might have bought a $1k stroller, but her husband couldn’t get her that 3 carat engagement ring nor could she bobble her head wearing Hermes Orans in the park.
