A hater and loser once said: The meek shall inherit the earth. Well, it’s been 2,000 years, and that sure as hell is wrong.
There’s no better example than Danielle Bregoli, aka “Cash Me Ousside” girl, the car- stealing, plane-brawling 13-year-old who got her fame from a viral Dr. Phil appearance and then told the doctor she made him.
While some see her as a irrefutable sign of a coming Fall of Rome moment in American culture, Bregoli herself doesn’t care cause she’s getting rich. CelebrityNetWorth.com even speculated she could be a millionaire by the end of the year.
Bregoli can rake in major cash through her Instagram page, where she already has over 8 million followers.
Instagram “influencers” with her size following could make between $25k and $150k for a sponsorship deal, according to Eric Dahan the founder of Instabrand, a company that connects social-media influencers with brands. These deals could include multiple posts on different platforms as well as real-life appearances.
However, Bregoli’s controversial public persona could drive the price of her sponsored content down, Dahan said. Bregoli’s public fighting and foul language could scare some companies away.
Already she has done sponsored Instagram posts for Fashion Nova and Fit Tea.
But Bregoli also makes money with public appearances, receiving $40k to appear at a music festival. Her agents won’t even humor a request unless you’re willing to offer at least $30k for an appearance.
Along with a possible reality show in the works and an online merch store, Bregoli is well on her way to becoming a millionaire.
Good for her! Finally someone getting rich who actually deserves it.
