this question will go out to kiwis too - have there ever been any concerted efforts by ONA members to figure where the Tomlinsons get their money from? any decently accurate theories with evidence?
I don't have any documented ebadance so my source is I made it the fuck up / whatever is funniest is true, but if you mean the tomlinsons they have no money. A pittance from tommy Tomlinson's rodeo clown dick sucking days and mama raven's school counselor days.
If you mean the Robinsons Nikki's mom Lynn is an accountant or some shit.
Pat married into the Robinsons when he was fresh off a high five figures publishing advance and he had a large twitter following so he basically defrauded the Robinsons into thinking he was successful. He turned out to be a bad investment. He gets pitiful residuals, perhaps some insurance commissions, and the Airbnb rental.
Nikki runs a SEO business but shows no evidence of being actually skilled at SEO.
Combined with Pat being technicality Tomlinson with how he says quasi got paid (or didn't, by him, Patrick) combined with Nikki being the one doing shenanigans like writing Quasi checks for amounts less than the damages, this points to Nikki being the one doing the payments, but I suspect Nikki is supported entirely by Lynn. Either outright cash transfers or more likely overcharging Lynn / Lynn's clients for SEO services as part of a package deal so Lynn can lower her taxes by being smooth about how she supports Nikki. Lynn probably also arranged their PPP loan that likely got forgiven so they also freeloaded a grant off the government thanks to family connections providing help within a narrow timeframe.
Pat has tweeted before bragging about his mortgage interest being low so the hovel is mortgaged and was likely under $200k at time of purchase for like 2% interest.
Their costs are therefore low, and the Robinsons supporting Pat is probably part of the reason they crop him out of photos.
Nikki is meanwhile fine with this arrangement because Pat gets to be her beard to keep her family off her case while she eats clown box.
