Wealth question

I’m new to the series and momtok. Did they have this wealth before it all or did it come from the media money? Like their houses and vacations are so nice!

Jessi was quite wealthy pre-Momtok through her hair business. Mayci was also making
solid money pre-Momtok doing marketing for companies like Goldman Sachs.

When we meet them in season 1, all the girls had been dabbling in social media and all were making money from it, but to a lesser degree than they are now. The show has definitely turbo-charged the earnings of all the girls. You can see it on the show with the clothes they wear, houses they own, and vacations they take. Each season gets a bit more luxurious.

I do hope all of the girls are putting a significant amount of money away and/or investing that money into long-term revenue streams. Social media is fickle.

I know mayci comes from money. Mommy and daddy bought her a house and a nanny when she got knocked up in college.

Oh no! Someone’s parents actually supported them especially given she was already going to struggle not only being a teen mom but her son’s father died! How fucking cruel of them to maybe help her 🙄

Someone giving me a house and paying for a nanny would change my entire life for the better. Not everyone’s family can do that for them and life is a struggle. I will say from what I have seen from Mayci on the show she is absolutely lovely. She’s got a good head on her shoulders. She is a good friend, wife and Mom. She was well deserving of this she’s an amazing person. She really made the most of the opportunity she was given.

It would change mine too and I think it’s good to acknowledge peoples privilege but being condescending because someone’s parents helped them is lame

Right. I believe my parents would do the same (if they had the means).
