Kendra Wilkinson Earned $500,000 In Six Months By Stripping, Shares 55-Pound Weight Loss Diet [Video]
Kendra Wilkinson has two simple rules about how to become rich and famous. The first is that Too Much Information (TMI) does not exist. When in doubt, share everything. And the second rule involves listening to your intuition and choosing the path that results in the most money, she said on Australia’s I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! reality TV show, reports the New York Post’s Page Six.
Now 29, Kendra first became famous as a Playboy model. But she began her path to fame and fortune with a wake-up call that she could party-hearty for money.
Wilkinson tried working as a dental assistant and a pizza shop employee. But she didn’t strike gold until she found a way to make what she says was $500,000 in six months by stripping. Kendra defended her decision by saying that she was becoming true to her inner free spirit.
“I’m just like a free spirit, I wanted to see how much money I could earn. I like to party. I like to have fun.”
And for those who think that they might want to try stripping for income, Kendra is encouraging. She says that you don’t have to take lessons or have dance skills.
“When I was a stripper I didn’t know what to do, how to do it, I just walked around the pole, took my clothes off. Money just came flying at you.”
But despite the temptations of flying money, the opportunity to move into the Playboy Mansion and have fun with other Playmates lured Kendra to stop her stripping career, she revealed on the show.
“Hef asked me to be one of his girlfriends, and live in the mansion and I was like, ‘H*ll yeah, I’m here!’ I was living in this small-a** apartment with this ugly-a** bitch. I was praying for anything to get me out of there.”
Kendra was 18 years old at the time, while Hefner was 78. She subsequently married Hank Bassett and had two children.
Wilkinson also has been open about how she lost her post-baby weight with a low-carb diet. She told E News that the Atkins high fat ketogenic diet provided her with the weight loss solution she sought after gaining 55 pounds during her pregnancy.
“During my pregnancy, I started at 120 and ended up at 175,” Kendra admitted.
“I researched the perfect diet for after baby… I love meat, I love vegetables, it’s low-carb…it’s working so good,” Wilkinson praised.
As the Inquisitr reported, Kendra isn’t the only celebrity who chose the Atkins diet for her post-baby weight loss. Kim Kardashian lost 70 pounds on the low-carb plan.
