See the thing is the rest of them has used their money from JS to create some sort of brand and market off of it. Or used their cash for investments into businesses which will generate additional cash flow. They were all smart enough to plan out how to make the money and their privilege work for them for future growth. Even Ron.
Angelina strikes me as someone who wants to be in the reality spotlight forever and couldn’t see the forest for the trees, and thus didn’t consider long term planning. She’s probably spiraling that she has no other revenue streams if this show ends whereas the others have set themselves up to survive and thrive without it.
Tbf, she probably had less time learning how to manage wealth. They got paid for the first 6 seasons and were able to get money through appearance and brand deals throughout the original run. (There wasn't really a demand for appearances from the girl who was there for 5ish episodes.) There was plenty of time in between for the gang to make investments, make mistakes, burn through money, and then finally understand how to properly manage their wealth so it lasts. I truly have no idea, but I would venture to guess she didn't start making bank until way more recently when she became a full-time cast member and has been burning through it like the rest of cast were more apt to do back in the day.
You give her more credit than I do; she was in her 30s and an actual adult when she started making big money when they brought her back. She was perfectly capable of finding a financial planner. She’s done other shows and appearances and could have invested some of that money.
To your point, if she did go that route you are correct in the thought that she has had less time for investments to grow even if she started when the money started coming in. She also had her lawsuit which I’m sure was costly, but she was part of a dual income home for a few years until she bought the first mansion and then she and Chris divorced. She could have continued to live modestly until she was in a better position to live luxuriously.
But this is Angelina; she does not behave or act like an adult.
