She said the primary time she began making “good money” was when she began live-streaming. “I began making $600 a day and from there I grew higher and better and I expanded that as much as over $2,000 a day.”
She spends on clothes and fancy cars, yet buying homes is her splurge of alternative.
“Investing money into real estate is the perfect decision I’ve ever made,” she said.
She bought seven houses “starting with no credit, no parents’ help, no help from anybody, just myself,” she explained.

Donovan has a terrific relationship together with her parents, Mary and Vincent, and since she wishes they lived closer, her solution was to surprise them by buying them an expensive Florida dream home.
She hopes to proceed investing in properties.
“I actually have big plans with investing. I’m gonna be stepping into business real estate. I still pinch myself. I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’m waking up on this Barbie dreamhouse,’ ” she said.
“I didn’t have anyone to guide me. You could have to be smart and when you really, really, really need something, I feel you’ll be able to make it occur.”
