According to Veronica, who became pregnant for the first time at the age of 14, she is currently self-employed and rakes in the income by relying on social media, where she has several platforms.

Veronica hit back at trolls who thought she was 'unemployed': 'I make money from TikTok, I make money from selling paintings and I make money from YouTube.'

At one point the mother of thirteen, who was widely criticized for having so many children, even had her own shop, but it had to be closed because it reportedly cost her more than she actually made.

''I also make affiliate links,'' she said, adding that fans can currently buy ''a really cool pair of pants'' for which she gets ''a few cents''.

In total, the 38-year-old, from the US, claimed to earn just over £2.5k from TikTok, while YouTube earns her £155.

“If I happen to sell paintings, that might be another $200.” [£155]maybe $400 [£315].''

But as she continued to add the videothis can change every month due to a number of factors.

“So my income fluctuates, and it depends a lot on how motivated I am, or how energetic, or whether or not I'm sick, or whether the kids get sick – or whether I'm just super busy.”

Veronica, who insisted she was 'not rich', spent £5.5,000 on Christmas – but this was possible thanks to 'credit cards and loans'.

'It'll take me a few months to pay it off.

“But I expect to earn it back within a few months.”

Amazed by the hard work ethic, dozens of comments emerged to praise the super mom.

“That's great that you're doing so well here creating content!” one said.

Another agreed: “It's also called BUDGETING.”

''I enjoy looking at your stuff! So interesting and you're an amazing mom!'' wrote a third.

Someone else advised: ''You need to do brand deals.''

Recently, the mom revealed that one of her toddlers was battling cancer when she set up a GoFundMe page.

“Poverty… everyone keeps saying that. I give everything I have to my children, this is not poverty.

“You hate that I started a gofund.me, but people asked me to so they could help make sure the kids didn't suffer while my toddler battled cancer.

“You have no idea what I went through to build a beautiful life for these children, but I can't control every variable.

“There is not an ounce of me that regrets my babies, I love them all dearly.”
