How Much Money Does ’90 Day Fiance’ Star Danielle Make?

While it’s unclear how much Daniele makes in her salary, her status as the breadwinner in her marriage continues to be a source of tension between her and Yohan. During season 4 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, the couple got into a tense fight over their finances.

Daniele Responds to Backlash for Leaving Teaching Job and Giving Up Pension Money for Yohan

On the January 29, 2023, episode of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, Daniele revealed that she was leaving her job as a history teacher so she could relocate to the Dominican Republic to be with Yohan. In one scene, Daniele’s friends were shocked to learn that she still made the decision even though she was told that if she worked one more year, she could have gotten $15,000 extra a year in her pension when she retired.

“An extra $15,000 a year when I’m 63 isn’t gonna be that meaningful to me,” Daniele told her friends. “And that’s the only place he can be with me now is there.”

Daniele took to her Instagram Story shortly after the episode aired to explain why she wasn’t concerned about losing out on $15,000 in order to move to the D.R. to be with her husband.

“My phone is like, going crazy because I’m getting a lot of feedback from people both I know in my real life and people I don’t know at all about my statement on the show about my pension and that I’m not really that worried about $15,000 a year,” she said.

Daniele explained that if you work in a municipal position in New York City, after 19 years on the job you would be eligible for a pension of at least $100,000. She explained that she can borrow $100,000 from her pension and invest it in a property in her community in the Dominican Republic and then rent it out for $1,000 a week. She said that if she rents it out for just 50 weeks a year and reserve two weeks for family and friends to use the space, she would at least have $50,000 at the end of one year.

“So in two years, that apartment will be paid off, right? So, let’s start there, I now have $100,000 in equity in real estate in two years and I’m currently 43,” she said. Daniele said she would then be making 100 percent in profit of $50,000 after two years. She then deducted about $10,000 a year for estimated expenses on the property, which means she would still be making $40,000 a year profit.

Daniele then asked her followers, “Is $40,000 more or less than $15,000? I’m just curious, do I have to grade any papers for that? Do I have to babysit people in suspension for that? Do I have to go to PDs that don’t value my experience? Do I have to work in jobs that make me miserable and traumatize me every single day? No, I don’t. That is passive income and that’s in just two years.”

“So if I do that two or three more times, then I’m making well into the six figures and if i do it five or six times by the time I retire, when I’m 63 I could do it 10 times — I’ll be a millionaire and that’s a lot more than $15,000,” Daniele continued. “So, which one of us is stupid?”

Daniele finished her message by asking her followers to think about “how much trauma” a New York City public schoolteacher goes through throughout their career. “We experience stabbings and shooting and rapes and very young girls, like 12-year-old girls having babies,” she said. “We experience kids in incestuous relationships with family members, we experience kids who are abused by their parents, kids who are abused in foster care, kids who are living on the streets, kids who are addicted to drugs, kids who are in abusive relationships with their partners, kids who run away from home, kids who come to the United States on the tops of trains, kids who come to us from detention centers.”

“We are experiencing parents with all of those things in addition, trying to parent kids and we have to try to be mediators between kids and those parents,” Daniele continued. “We are experiencing so much trauma on a daily basis and no one should be doing this for $15,000 a year. So, if you need a solution to get out, I promise you, I can teach you.”

Daniele and Yohan Have Argued Over Money

Daniele and Yohan’s finances as a couple have long been a point of stress in their relationship. During season 5 of The Other Way, they explored the possibility of using an egg donor to have a child. However, the process had an expensive price tag at $11,500, which Daniele said she didn’t have.

“So, we have to figure out a way to pay for it, which basically means that I have to figure out a way to pay for it,” she said in the August 28, 2023, episode. 

Daniele and Yohan also disagree on their lifestyle. During the September 25 episode, Yohan vented to a friend about Daniele wanting to keep renting a home when he thought they would have purchased a home and a car by that point. He believed that Daniele was not contributing enough in the relationship and not treating him “like a king.”

Later, the couple argued about money while they were looking at a car to potentially buy. Daniele said Yohan “has had an attitude lately about how we live.” Meanwhile, Yohan said he thought Daniele should pay for everything because she wanted to live in the Dominican Republic. He believed there were more opportunities for them in the U.S.
