An influencer known as the “Queen of Money” claimed that “karma won” in the midst of a thief breaking into her Bel-Air house and using a bunch of fake cash for taking photos.
According to a department spokesman, the Los Angeles Police Department made a phone call about theft on the property shortly after 1 a.m. Monday. When the officer arrived, the suspect had disappeared.
The home belongs to financial influencer Amanda Frances, the author and creator of online courses, who said her goal is to help women gain wealth.
“The thieves ransacked my closet, damaging my home in the process, but they almost gave up everything and prioritized the money for props when facing the security guards in the neighborhood.”
She said the thief gave up several designer bags on the street and the police could recover. In their rush to escape, they left behind some fake money scattered on the street. She believes they also stood out with a small amount of purses, a ring and necklace, but gave up most items of their main value.

Forged money was used in recent photos to facilitate Francis’ “Money Thinking Reinvention” digital course. In the past, Frances withdraws and returns real money from the bank for the photo shoot, but this time she chooses the photographer’s funds.
Despite the relief that the stolen money was fake, she was still shocked by the experience.
“I’ve been working hard all my life to build what I have and own my own home in Bel-Air,” she said. “I’m frustrated and frustrated, the city I dreamt about (because I was a kid who grew up in a small town in Oklahoma), and it turned out to be an unsafe place to support my family.”
Frances founded an online education and coaching company in 2011, which specializes in providing financially authorized courses for women. The influencer now has over 500,000 followers on Instagram, where she sees herself as a “homemade millionaire” and a “repeating unrealistic goal achiever.”
In an Instagram message shared with The Times, Francis noted that she bought the house from Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky, who raised four children on the property. Richards is the aunt of Paris Hilton, known for her long-time role in “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, while Umansky is a real estate agent best known for her own reality show, Bey Beverly Hills.
“They raised four kids here, and I have four kids,” she told the Times. “It’s a family home and we no longer feel safe.”
