She told Men’s Health in August 2017…“I was a personal trainer [and] I started training this girl, Michelle Game, who was a hip-hop video model. She had 80,000 followers at the time, and one day she asked to take a selfie together. She posted it and tagged me and my page blew up, and people were asking for my workouts, to purchase workouts, stuff like that.”
Inc. reported in 2016, Lee earns $3,000 to $5,000 per [social media] post. She will only publish roughly one post per week, as engagement and authenticity are important for building and maintaining a hefty price tag.
