So do we think G is paying for almost everything now? She has a decent incime, but enough for 2k pcm plus a deposit to buy in a lovely part of London? That plus all the expensive hotels, meals out in high end restaurants and trips to waitrose. She had to live with roomates before to make it work, and shopped in tesco.
Yeah but when you add up how much influencers get gifted:
- makeup,
- skincare/bodycare - including specialised acne and eczema products;
- clothes;
- cute/sexy lingerie;
- in Katie's case, sex toys. I bet that since she started adding sex content, she gets gifted lube, condoms and whatnot (and if you want good quality lube/condoms/toys, they would be expensive);
- meal/stays - maybe not so much now, but she still got gifted that big meal from Charlie Bigham brand that she cooked last week, she gets free booze too
and possibly more!
If you add up how much you might be saving on the above, you can easily pay a little extra for a nice apartment or a fancier hotel.
I also think she makes a lot more than she lets on, I think she's just stingy and doesn't like spending her own money. I hope I recall correctly, but I think she was already putting a little money aside every month to save for a deposit on a house, either when she was still with her ex, or when she lived by herself/with friends. She also drives a small-ish car which means cheap insurance, cheap road tax and not much petrol.
I have a friend in my home country who is a medium size YouTuber over there. She does fashion, culture and a bit of beauty. When she began being popular, she started to have clothing and accessories gifted, she received makeup and skincare product for testing (sometimes so much she couldn't get through it herself so she passed on friends and family). Can you imagine not having to worry about buying shirts, jeans, dresses or lipstick, body lotion, even fragrance? These things are a big chunk of people monthly budgets and some are a big treat. Once you don't have to spend that money from your own purse, you can splurge a bit on better/nicer items. So she started buying YSL bags and Chloe boots. Dior jewellery. A creme de la mere moisturiser which can be over £100.
You see where I am going with this? I am sure G's wealth does make a massive difference but I think she's doing not too bad too. Think of all the things she's hoarding that were gifted - this is money she didn't spend and saved.
