An influencer known as “The Money Queen” said that “Karma won” after the burglars burst into his Bel-Air house and expressed themselves with lots of false money used for a photo shoot.
The Los Angeles Police Service responded to a call on a burglary in progress in a house shortly after 1 a.m. on Monday, according to a spokesperson for the department. As the police arrived, the suspects had left.
The house belongs to the financial influencer Amanda Frances, author and creator of online lessons who says that her goal is to help women acquire wealth.
“The burglars ransacked my closet, damaging my house in the process, but they lost almost everything, prioritizing the money of accessories when confronted with the security guard of a neighbor,” said Frances in a statement shared with Times.
The thieves abandoned several bags of creators in the streets, which the police were able to recover, she said. In their precipitation to flee, they left part of the false money scattered in the street. She thinks they also succeeded with a handful of handbags, a ring and a necklace but dropped most of the articles of major value.

False money was used in a recent photo shoot to promote the digital course of Frances’ “monetary mentality”. In the past, Frances has withdrawn and has returned the bank’s real money for photo sessions, but she opted for the money of accessories this time after her photographer suggested that it would be safer, she said.
Although Frances was relieved that the stolen money was false, it remains shaken by experience.
“I worked incredibly hard all my life to build what I have and my owner in Bel-Air,” she said. “I am discouraged and distraught that the city in which I dreamed of living – since I was a high child in a small town in Oklahoma – turned out to be a dangerous place to raise a family.”
Frances founded an online education and coaching company specializing in financial empowerment courses for women in 2011. The influencer now has more than half a million followers on Instagram, where she considers herself as a “self-fabricated multimillionaire” and a “repetitive unrealistic objective”.
In an Instagram message shared with Times, Frances noted that she had bought the house from Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky, who raised their four children on the property. Richards is the aunt of Paris Hilton and especially known for its longtime role in “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, while Umansky is a real estate broker known for his own reality TV show, “Buy Beverly Hills”.
“They raised their four children here, I have four children,” she told Times. “It’s a family home and we don’t feel safe.”
