She's invested her earnings wisely and it's paying off now.

It's really not difficult to get 8% return on investments.

Every £1 she got from shouting “Rickaaaaaaay!” was wisely invested to give her a solid income. Very wise of her.

I dunno it doesn’t add up, she wasn’t paid megabucks

She had a market stall in Albert Square for a while as a side hustle.

Good investments and successful work in the US. Article pp has linked says she's now worth £9 million. Good on her

I heard she /husband was successful in real estate. They were actually spotted in an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills a few years ago. Dancing at some party in a huge mansion thrown by Kyle. I almost spat my drink out when I seen her dancing thinking she had came a long way since the days of RICCCKY.

Touty · 16/05/2025 02:57

It still does not add up. It doesn’t look like the husband had any money

What’s not adding up? Several people have already said through investments. She moved to US in 2014 and would have been an absolute nobody there. Could have invested small and now is loaded, is something that she definitely could have done within them 11 years. Plus if she’s hanging around with other high profile real estate agents like Maurico it’s fair to say she’s probably been at networking

Gorgeousfeet · 16/05/2025 03:33

Good for her I say. I wish her well 🩷

GravyBoots · 16/05/2025 03:46

She's a dj out there too. Although I don't think that's where she made her millions.

I'm never quite sure about her, she can be really arsey in interviews.

I wonder if she's got her silver padded coat in the wardrobe should the evenings turn chilly.

BMW6 · 16/05/2025 03:58

How are you so very familiar with her finances OP?

NautilusLionfish · 16/05/2025 04:01

Tell us op, what do you think is going on with Patsy? How do you think she affords to live in Malibu? You obviously suspect something!

Yeah she was but I doubt she was successful. I also found that she could be arsey. Like she was somehow better and bigger than she actually was. When her only real claim to fame was being on Eastenders years ago. Margot Robbie started off in neighbours I think and she’s much more successful,than Pasty but does not come across like that. It could be her humour though? I don’t know. But she has done well regardless. I highly doubt she cares what people think of her. Beautiful home, rich and get kids are doing modelling and acting.

That you looking for tips Alice for LA?..
🤨😆

Waterweight · 16/05/2025 04:15

She's 52!

A) she's probably worked since she was at least 18
B) might have had parents or grandparents who passed away (inherited there house)
C) had bumper earning years acting/interviews during cheaper house prices/higher currency exchange years
D) shes married (as long as he works at all she might have set her wage aside)
E) investments

I would understand you not understanding it if she was 25 but really she's had above national income jobs for the bulk of her 20s/30's/40's

Years back there were strong rumours of a lottery win which they used to decamp to the States. I agree her lifestyle on the relatively little time she spent on a soap when young without doing much else doesn’t add up.

WiddlinDiddlin · 16/05/2025 04:53

It is possible to earn money even if you're not a huge celebrity, I've heard people do do this. Employ a decent financial advisor, invest wisely, work in other areas.

What is not adding up about that?

JustMyView13 · 16/05/2025 05:18

What doesn’t add up? She would’ve been salaried at Eastenders. She’ll have got meals on set so food bill was probably very low. She likely lived a modest lifestyle and had a good FA from a young age. She probably didn’t succumb to lifestyle inflation, which is most people’s biggest downfall. With investing, once you get going it’s a bit of a snowball effect. She might also own property too. Which if she bought post 2008 crash would’ve made a tidy sum.

Gundogday · 16/05/2025 05:20

I believed she lived in Hertfordshire before. Maybe she made a good profit on her house.

ConcernedOfClapham · 16/05/2025 05:22

Who cares?
what business is it of yours?

weird thread.

Really? Do you know how much she has rumoured to have won?

GravyBoots · 16/05/2025 05:30

Oi Patsy! How are you affording to live in Malibu?!

She might be reading and be willing to share the ins and outs of her finances...

JojoM1981 · 16/05/2025 05:35

I heard from a few places that she won the lottery.

feelingbleh · 16/05/2025 05:35

I mean she has like 4 jobs acting, dj, owner and ceo of good and proper hair and she a wellness guru all these will be well paid so 🤷 and thats not including money she gets from interview,social media and investments. It's not difficult to understand why she has a net worth of 9.3 million. You're being odd
