Being cast on 90 Day Fiancé comes with many benefits, and one of the best is the potential to make a lot of money. Many 90 Day Fiancé stars become powerful Instagram influencers, but that’s not the only way the cast has leveraged their franchise fame for financial gain. Many cast members have become very successful at making the most of their popularity.
Cast members who appear on the 90 Day Fiancé franchise shows are paid for their time, though it’s reportedly fairly moderate in terms of compensation. However, becoming a popular or polarizing figure in the franchise can open the door for many financial opportunities. In many situations, it would be stupid not to take advantage of the chance to earn extra income, and the cast usually doesn’t hesitate to profit off their fame.
The show’s cast has gotten creative when it comes to making money in ways other than just the standard sponsored content. Some are getting bigger payouts for multiple franchise appearances, and others are collecting cash directly from fans, but the one thing these cast members have in common is a zero-hesitation policy when it comes to getting that hustle.
Yara Zaya
Yara has always been a stylish young woman, but after viewers were introduced to her on 90 Day Fiancé season 8, she has been able to leverage her fashion prowess into a significant income. Like most franchise stars, Yara promotes products and brands on Instagram, but she also has her own online clothing store. In the past, Yara was busted for upselling the clothing on her website, but it’s hard to blame her for wanting to make the most of her reality TV fame to provide for her family.
Big Ed Brown
Although he has become extremely controversial, Big Ed also profited off his 90 Day Fiancé fame. Ed’s polarizing behavior on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days secured him a spot on other franchise spin-offs like 90 Day: The Single Life. After gaining notoriety through the franchise, Ed has also been shilling branded merchandise and making a killing on Cameo selling personalized videos to fans. Due to his weird antics and erratic behavior, Big Ed is one of the most popular 90 Day Fiancé stars on Cameo, and that has led to some serious cash.
David Toborowsky & Annie Suwan
David and Annie have also cemented themselves as franchise staples, popping up on numerous 90 Day Fiancé spin-offs, including the much-derided 90 Day: Foody Call. Their popularity in the franchise has led to a large income from doing Cameo videos and they have even branched out into retail. David and Annie announced a new line of cooking oil recently, inspired by their appearance on Foody Call and their many cooking videos on Instagram. David may have been in dire financial straits on 90 Day Fiancé season 5, but now he and Annie are thriving.
Larissa Lima
Love her or hate her, Larissa is one of the most iconic cast members from the franchise, and it only makes sense that she would turn that notoriety into profit. Most of Larissa’s money comes from the racy, NSFW content she posts online to media sharing platforms. In fact, at one point Larissa made $40,000 a month on OnlyFans, which is a significant chunk of cheddar. Though she gets a lot of criticism, Larissa is laughing all the way to the bank because all that attention, whether good or bad, becomes dollars in her pocket.
Usman Umar
It’s not uncommon for 90 Day Fiancé cast members to be accused of going on the show seeking fame, but Usman, aka Sojaboy, has come clean that he only went on the show to promote his music career. Usman admitted to using TLC for fame, and it seems to have paid off. The aspiring star has been releasing new music, and his signature song "I Love You" is still extremely popular with 90 Day Fiancé fans, with nearly half a million listens on Spotify. Fans may have Sojaboy on replay out of irony, but it has helped boost his career all the same.
Stephanie Matto
Stephanie is one of the most enterprising cast members in the franchise, though that eagerness to profit off her fame has led to some intense criticism from fans. However, Stephanie doesn’t let that get in the way of financial gain. In addition to multiple appearances on 90 Day Fiancé franchise shows, she has launched other business ventures as well. Stephanie recently unveiled a new platform for sharing NSFW content after OnlyFans briefly introduced a ban on such content. The new platform, Unfiltrd, features several other cast members, including Larissa and Biniyam Shibre. It’s clear Stephanie’s 90 Day Fiancé fame has benefitted her tremendously.
Molly Hopkins
Molly was a savvy businesswoman before going on 90 Day Fiancé, and she has only gotten more shrewd after her franchise fame. The season 5 star runs a successful lingerie business, which she has promoted using her 90 Day Fiancé connections. Molly has profited off the show by tying her preexisting business to her newfound fame, like using 90 Day Fiancé memes as a creative way to advertise for her business. Molly has also been posting sponsored content on Instagram which, combined with the boost to her lingerie business, proves that Molly’s time in the franchise has been very lucrative for her.
Rose Vega
Rose has made good use of her brief time on the franchise and has been able to provide a better life for her family. Viewers were initially skeptical of Rose but quickly grew to like her more than her ex-boyfriend Big Ed. Because of that, Rose was able to make a lot of money from sponsorships and Cameos that she then used to open her own store in the Philippines, pursue a modeling career, and buy multiple properties. Thanks to 90 Day Fiancé, Rose has accomplished many goals, and it was all made possible by how popular she is among fans.
These 90 Day Fiancé stars have proven that they have an enterprising spirit and an eye for making money, and it’s all thanks to their franchise fame. There are many ways to get rich off of TV show fame, and these cast members can sniff out financial opportunities like truffle pigs.
