What does she live on?


How does Joyce McKinney make her living? She's agoraphobic but has been appearing at viewings in different US cities to "clear [her] name." She's in a wheelchair, ostensibly as a result of the dog attack, so maybe she collects disability? Is she supported by family members? She had the money to fly to Korea and clone puppies. 40,000 British pounds couldn't have stretched THAT far!

I thought it was implied that she has a lot of cash saved up from prostituting herself throughout her 20s and 30s. Anyone else?

reply

prostituting obviously paid for the trip to england, but she couldn't have made enough to be set for life, and pay for those dogs.

reply

Presumably her parents had money.

She's very smart anyway, it's not impossible that she invested the money she made from selling her story to the newspapers (plus the cash from the dominatrixing) and lives off the proceeds.



I used to want to change the world. Now I just want to leave the room with a little dignity.

She sold the family property in North Carolina - perhaps it was enough acreage to be of some value. Her California home is described as being pretty junky.

reply

for all of the intelligence declared on this board, has it ever occurred to any of you that she got/gets paid for all of the publications & appearances she has made? she was literally a phenomenon. add that to her prior 'work', inheritance, & some wise investments, she is or should be comfortable enough.

reply

Maybe she still turns tricks or somehow gets money off guys.

reply

There are many ways for manipulative scammers to make money to live off on. For all we know she could've slept with some old guys and gotten their inheritance as well as prostituted some more. I wouldn't put being a pimp or murder for money past this crazy b!tch. It's a shame she didn't cross paths with Robert Blake. Lol
