Are Joey & Kelsey Nouveau Riche?

They’re Not Old Money

Joey and Kelsey struggled financially after participating in The Bachelor. Contestants obviously can’t work while filming, and the couple that comes out of the season has contractual obligations that make it hard to work a day job. Since the show doesn’t pay participants that much, it puts contestants in a difficult place financially, and that’s what happened to Joey and Kelsey. Unable to teach tennis, Joey was forced to live off credit cards, while Kelsey had to quit her job and rely on him.

Thankfully, Joey and Kelsey were able to turn their financial situation around quickly.
