'Chewbacca mom' got $400K in gifts
How Much Money Has Chewbacca Mom Made Since Her Video
Quote:
The "Chewbacca Mom" who went viral a few weeks ago is no exception to this rule, having been given over $400,000 in gifts since her video became the most-talked about thing on the internet for a day.
Candace Payne created the giggly, infectious Facebook Live video on May 19, and quickly became the most-watched Facebook Live video ever. It has been viewed more than 150 million times, and shared more than 3 million times.
The next day, Kohl's came to see her bearing thousands of dollars worth of Star Wars-themed gifts...and ever since, the freebies have kept rolling in.
Of course, of the "more than $400,000" in gifts, $400,000 of that comes in the form or scholarships for Payne and her family to Southeastern University, a small, Christian liberal arts university in Central Florida.
Besides that, according to Time, she's received thousands of dollars worth of travel and accommodations to appear on talk shows and the like; a $7,500 trip to Disney World, and $2,000 worth of VIP access to Fan Expo Dallas.
Since the video provided free publicity for Kohl's, Star Wars, Hasbro and Facebook, Candace has been showered with gifts from all of them. Kohl's gave her toys and gift cards.The Force Awakens director, J.J. Abrams, hung out with her for a sketch on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Hasbro gave her more Star Wars toys. Facebook head, Mark Zuckerberg, invited the social media star to Facebook Headquarters.
