Likewise, the insider touts she isn’t “frilly or lavish” in her daily life. Further adding, “She gets her TV wardrobe from the show and could easily finagle taking a few home, but she doesn’t feel the need.”

  1. Vanna knows her roots and that shaped her decisions in later life. My late father (lived till 96) did likewise and supported various community organizations once he reached some affluence.

  2. Vanna knows where she comes from her roots are strong. The simple things in life is what she wants. Not the glitz or glamour but dressing up now and then is nice if she wants. Of Course she has money.. but sitting on the life of no worries is a dream come true. My mom passed in 2022 she was a charity giver to ASPCA. We have a charity here that I give to WE CARE gives to needy families in time of need.
