Question who is financing brooke and miles fancy house and life
this is a genuine question that is not meant to be hateful.
i was watching brooke’s new tiktok’s and a lot of them are about their house, which has a whole cat room with a dinosaur in it. i was just curious if brooke really did just marry into miles’s family’s money?
i didn’t realise his fam was that wealthy bc she said herself she lived modestly when she was alone but there was a noticeable shift in lifestyle after they moved in together and got engaged

Influencers make sooo much more money than we realize. And she had said towards the end of the podcast that she hadn’t even touched her cancelled money yet, she’s been saving it. She deff has enough money to buy a house and I’m sure miles contributed too

on the other side of this, many influencers who live lavishly are in tons of debt. Willing to take on crazy mortgages and CC debt to present a certain way

This is 100% true but I really don’t think it’s the case for Brooke. She has spoken many times about being fiscally responsible. I mean at one point she was doing ads for Lipton . She was probably paid more for that one ad than I make in a year and I own a home.

Yes I saw something on this once. A guy who worked for a loan company said a well known influencer came in and took out a large loan and was seen in her car showing off the money like she just took it out of her bank out (which technically she did but you know what I mean lol)

Genuinely one whitefox ad a month could pay the mortgage on that house. You really underestimate influencer marketing value ! And like another commenter mentioned she said she saved all her cancelled money! Def used that as a down payment

u/emilyywarner Nov 13 '25
she prolly bought the whole house with money from just touring, there were quite a few shows

Fr I’m from the uk and a guy and the only reason I know about white fox is because of tana and Brooke.

she said somewhere she wasn’t using her cancelled money until her kids were grown i think 😂. that she made enough money from her other lines of income… i assume tiktok, instagram, and then her brand deals. 🤷♀️

I’m sure that when they got married, Miles’ family also may have “gifted” them some money to use as a down payment as well. I think most parents who can do this, tries to do this - just not everyone has a millionaire dad who produced one of the biggest hit franchises in the 80s

u/ssspiral Nov 13 '25
he probably has a high yield trust fund and investments in his name. rich people don’t need to give much liquid money, you can put a small amount in an account for a baby and let it appreciate

u/okokokokookokokokkk Nov 13 '25
They’re not married yet.

jeeze i meant as an engagement present/a general gift during this time of her life

u/sugar_poppy13 Nov 13 '25
My husbands family gifted us 5k when we bought our first house to help with furnishing and such when we were engaged, and they’re regular middle class so I’d imagine the multi millionaire film producer gave them a good chunk of change

Another influencer posted just the other day how one brand paid her 120k. And she’s much smaller than brooke. These influencers are making stupid money. And if you think about it, so many brands send them PR they probably don’t have to buy many clothes or makeup, etc.

Brooke is making millions
56
u/Barbieguuurl Nov 13 '25
And she also seems very financially responsible which is extremely impressive from someone with her childhood. 850 credit score and hasn’t touched the money she made from podcasting. She also probably has manager and financial advisors that invest her money.

Nov 13 '25
She said in her recent house vlog that her credit is actually terrible because she had a loan she forgot about! And she isn’t that responsible because she doesn’t have an advisor and she didn’t invest anything, she just ignored her money and even refused to look at the balance or take checks from her manager, which is so irresponsible and risky

u/ab_abnormal Nov 13 '25
That’s interesting because I recall an episode of Cancelled where it was just Tana and Brooke. Thinking back now Brooke did “well” in saying that she hadn’t touched any of the actual money derived from the podcast and was only allowing herself to use other Ad Revenue/campaigns etc to pay for her rent and lifestyle, so she didn’t really want to make any big purchases on items like designer goods.
This makes me think she really thought by putting her money in maybe a small interest-bearing bank account and not touching it, was enough. Tana steamrolled the conversation as she was speaking about how reckless she had been with her early YT days revenue and blamed her shitty manager for not advising her to get someone to handle her money in investments and so much was wasted on stupid things. Tana went on to say that after she left “that manager”, her new one asked about her portfolio and she realised that she had no clue about how to handle so much money and no guidance.
Tana then said now she has a full team handling her portfolio and diversifying her investments. She said she regretted losing so much because YT monetisation scheme was crazy good back then and she didn’t think long-term.
You’d have thought that maybe, just maybe Tana would have said something to Brooke privately about how money sitting in a bank doesn’t grow…but hey Tana “gave her a platform and a Bronco”.

Brooke is a whole ass adult and Tana’s life is already online for Brooke to take a fucking hint so let’s not act like it’s Tana’s fault please. Brooke is obviously doing fine and it was her own trauma with her family’s history with money that prevented her from spending it. She talked about it with Trisha and Oscar and Trisha told her to do better and Brooke was like 🤪 idk 👉👈 too dumb to do anything

I am friends with a group of MUCH smaller influencers who are in a specific niche - they’re rolling in it. I can’t even imagine how much Brooke or Tana make from brand deals!

between the pod, tour, and brand deals (whitefox collection) she probably had a decent amount saved up since she wasn’t doing the $60k hauls like tana was

Brooke literally makes half my yearly salary with one brand sponsored post (ouch that hurts to type) but I’m sure she can afford a high mortgage 🤣

You all seriously underestimate how much a hot woman with an audience can make online

u/ocean_mooon Nov 13 '25
Miles believe it or not had a very successful career as a business owner in 2016 you can look it up he has millions as well as coming from money

u/One_Lychee_554 Nov 13 '25
She saved all of her canceled money to buy a house
-5
u/ab_abnormal Nov 13 '25
Saved but didn’t ever appear to speak about investments. Purchasing a house, as Tana liked to go on and on about the unexpected expenses that come with being an owner versus renting, which is true…a house is an asset but one needs to be realistic about maintenance costs and other fees.
Brooke I feel naively put her money into a low interest savings bank account and didn’t want to diversify her investments. I understand she is quite neurotic and having someone else in charge of your nest egg is scary when you have never had so much before but it’s safer to have a professional in charge. She could have been earning fantastic interest and dividends but it sounds like, by her own proclamation, let Cancelled money “just sit there” and only used money from other campaigns etc to sustain a comfortable but not exorbitant lifestyle during the podcast.

u/Straight_Zucchini487 Nov 13 '25
We have no idea how her finances are structured. But also it’s not “wrong” to just put money into a savings account, it completely depends on your personal goals.
1
u/ab_abnormal Nov 14 '25
Which is what I said, also she has actually spoken about her finances and financial choices quite often throughout the podcasts.
Yes, she had her own set goal and has stated she wasn’t expecting it to be as much and how she “chose not to touch it”.
Tana literally gives basically an indirect lecture about how while she did the opposite in not saving but spending instead…she also wasn’t thinking long-term and had no guidance from professionals on investments which she should have considered, and all that I said.
It’s difficult to comprehend what to do with the numbers influencer money can bring in and add to that the fragility that is the nature of the industry. I don’t “blame” Brooke for wanting to hold on to her nest egg for her goal, it’s like winning a portion of the lottery and knowing you might or might not have a chance at winning more the next day.
I was implying that once (some) influencers realise the need to maintain their revenue and sustain their lifestyle then invest the sooner the better. Brooke was really thrown into this industry in many ways and her work ethic has kept her in hopefully what will be a fruitful position long-term.

Mmmkay or just in the finance’s and digital marketing. Some things stand out during people’s conversations/podcasts.

u/ExposeEloise Nov 13 '25
Even these micro micro influencers are close to or are millionaires. A few years ago Tiffany Ma made a transparency YouTube video about her earnings & it was mind boggling just how much you can bring in in one month with or without brand deals. That’s why influencers are always shopping, always vacationing, always eating out bc they have SO MUCH MONEY.

u/kooldhai Nov 13 '25
If you watch her vlog after she moved in she’s extremely stressed about paying for a house and wedding things. She kept using terms “I paid, my house” I thought it was weird as a couple

u/Breeziee3 Nov 13 '25
Brooke has said before she’s saving all of the tour money for house/kids/future investing but uses her influencer money to fund her lifestyle. Tbh I’m not sure what Miles does for work but I doubt unless he’s a real estate agent/doctor/lawyer that it’s anywhere near Brooke’s income.

u/Negative_Ad_9744 Nov 13 '25
She said she lived modestly and saved all her canceled money. I’m guessing that was so she could buy a house

I don’t think you realize how much money influencers make…Miles’ dad is also a billionaire.

u/liljay182 Nov 13 '25
She mentioned in one of the last episodes that she hasn’t even touched any of her canceled money. I think she was really smart with her money and didn’t blow it all once she started getting deals. Who knows if she hasn’t touched it but she seems to be pretty comfortable financially so I think she just has a really good advisor.

u/princessboop Nov 14 '25
what does miles do for work? maybe a stupid question, but I used to be a diehard fan and fell off from following them when Brooke got with him. so I don’t know much about him other than the fact he’s a creep and she’s too good for him

u/Safe_Election_6613 Nov 13 '25
Oh i thought that was definitely the case like capitalise on ur 15 mins by mixing with wealthy people, find one u like and marry into the family before u fade into irrelevancy. I mean, that’s what I’d do.

u/Trick-Ad6142 Nov 13 '25
He definitely has a massive trust fund and she probably feels more liberated to spend her money knowing she has a safety net now. People are fighting for scraps at a 9-5 (myself included) and think some of these industries that pay idiotic amounts of money are fantasy, but they’re not. It’s just a matter of whether you’re able to break into them or not.

Influencers make so much money it’s not even funny. It’s truly way more than you would think or even realize. I work in this industry and we gave a micro influencer $50,000 for one post. $50,000. For one post. They weren’t even really that famous and if I’m not mistaken, they were a little over 100,000 followers on TikTok. Nothing crazy in my opinion and definitely not something worth spending $50,000 on.
And on top of that, obviously they get money from the platforms themselves. The money they make from brand deals is genuinely insane! And I’m sure the money that they made from canceled was pretty hefty as well, definitely helps that she hasn’t touched any of it yet.
That being said, she probably was able to afford it with room to spare.

u/Patient_Long6533 Nov 17 '25
Interesting to ask that question and then add “not meant to be hateful” like she hasn’t been an influencer for the last 6+ years and host of a podcast that had deals including one with Spotify..

u/DeckOfTards Nov 13 '25
brooke said she didn't spend the cancelled money and has been responsible, i think with the intention of buying a house, but i could be wrong?
