What is ‘90 Day Fiance’ Star Asuelu Pulaa’s Job?
The reality TV personality first revealed he was working as a driver for a rideshare company during season 6 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, which debuted in April 2021.
“I have a full-time job driving rideshare and I get a lot of money and we’re doing really better [sic],” he said in his confessional.
How Else Does 90 Day Fiance’s Asuelu Pulaa Make Money?
Asuelu and Kalani receive a paycheck for their many appearances on the 90 Day Fiancé franchise.
“90 Day Fiancé pays their cast members $1,000 to $1,500 per episode,” a source told Radar in January 2019. It was reported that the cast’s compensation work on a sliding scale and landing a spot on a spinoff will earn a higher payout.
Asuelu also uses his following of more than 950,000 followers on TikTok and Instagram to his advantage — often partnering up with various businesses and brands to promote their products.
Also known for his traditional Samoan dances, fans can request a personalized video on Cameo, where he charges $80 per video.
What Jobs Did Asuelu Pulaa Previously Work?
Prior to his 90 Day Fiancé fame, Asuelu was the activities director at a resort in Samoa — where his future wife, Kalani, happened to be staying while she visited the islands.
“He kind of semi-stalked me around the resort but it was really sweet. He’d like watch after me when I was swimming in the pool, or if I was walking around,” the California native told producers in a December 2018 confessional. “And one of the nights I saw him shirtless, and I was like, ‘OK, this could work.’”
