One of the biggest 90 Day Fiancé names, Angela Deem, does a few things to make money in 2023, most of which involve leveraging her notoriety. The 57-year-old became well-known after she debuted in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 2 in 2018. However, before that, she'd tasted fame while starring in shows like Trisha and Maury.

Since being dramatic is her forte, Angela brought a lot to the TLC show with her then-boyfriend (and now estranged husband), Michael Ilesanmi. Angela’s storyline has primarily been about her having cultural issues with Michael and feeling insecure due to their significant age gap. After marriage, Angela embarked on a weight loss journey and lost 100 pounds following bariatric surgery.

Angela Deem Is An Social Media Influencer

The slimmed-down Angela has a lot of ways to earn an income this year, including her getting a paycheck from TLC for each episode and Tell-All that she stars in. Angela also has Cameo and Fanbasis pages which she advertises on her Instagram. Angela is a social media influencer with over 749k Instagram followers. Most of her Instagram posts are brand collaborations, and fans have watched her try to promote detox teas, hair straighteners, and apple cider gummies.

Did Angela Deem Pay For Her Plastic Surgery?

Since Angela had her gastric sleeve surgery in August 2020, most of her Instagram content is about getting makeovers. She has tweaked her appearance with various cosmetic treatments, such as Botox and dental implants. She even got fillers injected into her hands at a Beverly Hills clinic. While there are questions on how Angela affords these procedures, there’s a chance she pays for only part of them or gets the treatments for free in exchange for social media shout-outs and being featured on TLC. It doesn’t look like Angela continued working as a nursing assistant at a hospice, which she did when she debuted on 90 Day Fiancé.

The hustle never ends for Angela, who launched an Instagram account in 2022 called angeladeemcollabs. Here, she largely promotes meet and greets and her fashion line. Angela is earning enough money to live a comfortable life and care for her family, which consists of two daughters, six grandkids, and Michael.

Despite the love, hate, and numerous calls for Angela to be banned from TLC for being abusive toward Michael, Angela is still a part of the franchise. She gets attention on the show, even by doing things that many viewers don’t agree with. As long as 90 Day Fiancé keeps her around, fans will talk about her online. While they do, Angela will keep making money.
