I Moved To The US With $3K - Now I'm A Millionaire | BLING LIFE

SUBSCRIBE to Truly: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
Self-proclaimed 'Queen of Hollywood' Marcela Iglesias moved to the US at the age of 22 with only $3,000 to her name - but now lives in a $2m mansion in LA's Agoura Hills with her own fleet of luxury cars, including a $225,000 McClaren 570s. Marcela and her husband Steve are now worth $15m thanks to their real estate and stock market investments, while the pair also trade in cryptocurrency. However, Marcela has made a name for herself globally as the 'human Barbie' and creator of the ‘Plastics of Hollywood,’ a lifestyle brand for those who are proud of their surgical transformations. In this episode, Marcela gives us a luxury house tour, introduces us to her pet pigs, gets an exciting (and expensive!) delivery and then heads out for her favourite form of cardio - shopping!

This actually made me smile because not once was i left with the feeling she thought she was better or was being cocky or snobbish nothing but honesty about how she came into her lifestyle im also glad shes proud of where she came from because alot of people get to the states and then think they need to be a completely different person which she didnt do so im happy for her😊

she came to US with 3K and then started buying houses as an investment. Some piece is missing, maybe a husband with money, idk.

Apparently worked 3 jobs for 10 years. $3k in 2000 is $4778 in today's money. It was 2000-2010 so that was when real estate was booming and making millionaires daily. She married up. This story check's out to me, not unheard of.

I don't think that her husband was rich rich as she said that it took them 20 years to become as rich as they are now and in the first couple of years they didn't go on vacation to save up some money to invest in gold/Krypto/real estate/ ... That doesn't sound like the super rich. Sure, the husband probably started with a lot more money than her if she started out with only 3000 dollars, but who knows, maybe she worked 2 or 3 jobs in the beginning and saved up money together with her husband to invest in projects. The way she talked sounded intelligent and I do believe that she fully participated in the investment and projects and is not like the other women on truly who sold their bodies or were more of accessories

From THE SUN: "Marcela Iglesias, 41, says that she is cashing in on OnlyFans by chatting to younger men but that her husband is not concerned about it."

@@blackbirdflyyx "Couldn't go on holidays" Meaning she was draining him dry even early on and he was on his building phase for what has made all this possible. How would you be able to go on holiday People I know that are worth $100M in the bank, because they are TRULY aiming for that "portfolio, assets" diversification .. even they spend around $30k each month, when they really push themselves, $50k and they think it's overspending.. she does that in one week by herself AND she is NOWHERE close to those money.
