  • Net worth???

    I Googled Andrea Bain’s net worth during the show today when she was discussing how she Googled someone’s net worth. Andrea, if I were to believe what I found, which I do not, is worth in excess of $30million. Not 3, 30. Just saying.

Instead they want to talk about Megan and Harry and live in their mainstream celebrity bubble... more
