Yup, taxes are a bitch. It is also probable her agency takes a sizable amount of the partnerships she gets through them. Additionally she also has to pay people she employs for editing videos, she had (has?) an assistant (you know, someone has to go return all the packages she orders) etc. A lot of internet personalities boast about income in this same way, saying "I earn X amount" when in reality the amount of money that goes into their pockets is much lower. You should think of this alleged 1M more as company revenue than one person income. She for sure gets a big chunk of it but not all of it by far.
If you really want to approximate how much someone is earning look at what they own, not what they show on Instagram. Social media is a real bitch when it comes to warping the perception of wealth. Now I am sure Tamara has a nice income compared to an average Joe, but compared to what the perception of her on IG is... no way. Dropping 10k on a handbag every month is billionaire level behaviour but for Tamara it is probably the only thing she actually spends on. Everything else is rented or gifted
Which in all honesty does make SOME sense for her, as she is creating content around these purchases. At the same time her "career" is literally just shopping. She obviously has no idea how to build a business or create a brand, based on how miserably her sunglasses line and some body lotions failed. And she also does not seem to be very knowlegable about fashion
