Lot's of hard luck in her journey, and there are no numbers in the article, but from a Mustachian point of view,
She didn't save for her future!
The internet stories all have the same number for her net worth $8,000,000.
But, I have to doubt that is true if she is broke now.
She was the host for about 400 episodes, I have no idea if those paid $10,000
or $30,000 each, but that $4M to $12M in earnings plus the did commercials for 4 different companies.
That could be $1 or $2 million more.
There are more earnings, clearly she earned a lot of money, and didn't save it.
Sorry for her life problems but her financial problems belong in the 'Wall of shame and comedy" section.
OH, dang, that's where it's at!
