How did she pay for her restaurant?


If she blew all her money in Europe, how did she afford her restaurant? I mean, she probably had some left and Sean probably helped her but if she emptied her bank account and quit her job, how could she pay for it?

Didn't she win like nearly 3/4 million dollars give or take?

You're laborers, you're supposed to be laboring! That's what you get for not having an education!!

Exactly, she had PLANNED to blow all her money, but she HADN'T counted on winning on the same number 3 times in roulette and winning 3-400,000 dollars. Now if in Beauty Shop she could buy a salon for 30 thousand, I think she could afford a restaurant in this movie for 300,000.

You don't necessarily "buy" a restaurant. You rent the space and open one. Her winnings from the casino would amply bankroll her for such a move.

Plus could have gotten a small business loan to help start off as well. Agree with others though that she likely used her winnings from the casino to get going.

I always assumed there was some medical malpractice suit involved which reimbursed the money she lost.

Yeah and she also had a lot of friends who I'm sure helped her if needed. They were all at the opening after all.
