Making bank? Angela Deem has become one of the most loved and most hated cast members on 90 Day Fiancé, though she makes money outside of her work on reality TV.

What Is Angela Deem’s Net Worth?

Angela has an estimated net worth of $100,000, according to The List.

How Does Angela Deem Make Money?

Before she became a reality TV star, Angela worked in the healthcare industry as a nursing assistant at a hospice. It is currently unknown if she still is at the same job now, though there’s no evidence she left the position. 

Angela makes money from her appearances on the TLC show, as well as her partnerships on social media. The reality star makes personalized videos for fans on Cameo, while she has promoted products from brands including Boombod and Flat Tummy Co. for her 743,000 Instagram followers.

She reportedly receives a $15,000 paycheck from the network per season, while she also earned a $2,500 bonus for appearing on the show’s tell-all specials.

When Did Angela Deem Join ‘90 Day Fiance’?

Angela made her 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days debut during season 2 with her now-husband, Michael Ilesanmi.

After initially meeting on social media in 2017, Michael and Angela developed a long-distance relationship and she traveled to Nigeria to meet her online boyfriend in person for the first time. They eventually filed for Michael’s K-1 visa, which was later denied. The pair decided to exchange vows in Africa in January 2020, as it was the only way to bring Michael to the United State on a CR-1 visa, which allows the spouse of an American citizen to enter the country and obtain a green card.

Despite their nuptials, the Georgia native and Michael haven’t been able to reunite in the U.S. “Michael and I have been waiting on this spousal visa for two years and … we still haven’t got approval,” Angela explained during a June 2022 episode of 90 Day Diaries. “The wait is tough, so I just decided in the meantime to focus on my health.”

Are Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi Still Together?

Angela and Michael returned for season 7 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? in August 2022, where fans witnessed the pair deal with trust issues and a cheating scandal. As the pair continue to live apart, Angela admitted she felt her husband was “becoming increasingly neglectful of her.” She also expressed concerns that he was scamming her.

During season 7, Michael and Angela faced more drama when she visited him in Nigeria. When Angela and her friend Rene showed up at his house during the October 2 episode, she was ready for a fight. Things escalated so quickly that Angela damaged Michael’s car and they got into a screaming match. The couple was separated by Rene and Michael’s uncle, while they both broke down in tears following their altercation.

Angela later slammed Michael’s career aspirations of becoming an influencer and making money off Instagram. “I don’t know how to say this without being rude, but you’ve got to be interesting. He doesn’t have charisma,” the TV personality said. “Michael blocked me on Instagram, so maybe his plan to be an influencer and make money off of social media is a coverup. The only reason Michael would block me is because he is flirting with women.”

The TV personality later revealed that she was considering giving up on her marriage due to Michael’s cheating during part 4 of the season 7 tell-all in January 2023. “Right now, divorce is definitely on the table,” she admitted ​at the time. “I’m definitely gonna file. That doesn’t mean I’m gonna sign.”

After years of battling to get Michael’s visa approved, he joined his wife in the States in December 2023. However, just two months later, Angela reported her husband missing after he seemingly disappeared from their Georgia home.

In August 2024, In Touch confirmed that Angela filed for an annulment from Michael, claiming he “fraudulently induced” her into a marriage “for the purpose of gaining legal permanent resident status in the United States.”

“After [Michael] abandoned [Angela], [Angela] discovered that [Michael] was engaged in a conspiracy with other Nigerian men to induce U.S. citizens into marriage for the purpose of gaining legal permanent resident status,” she claimed in her filing. “There are no minor children as issues of this marriage, and none are expected.”
