Spencer has even been able to use the platform to promote his wife’s 2010 album, Superficial: ‘I have no idea how much money (the music has made).’ I don’t know if or when it comes in checks, but everyone tells me, “Don’t expect money.”

‘I’m more excited about the energy and opportunities that come from it. I don’t think these broadcasts and all these graphics (make money).’

Spencer said her experience on TikTok has also given her a renewed sense of hope after the wildfires.

He said: ‘From what people tell me, the music business is about touring, it’s about merchandise, it’s about all the things that come with it; “That’s how artists make money unless you do billions of streams, which I’m still aggressively (pushing for).

‘That’s not happening yet! “I’m being optimistic because, truly, it’s the only way to get through all of this.”

It comes after the couple responded to the backlash they received for receiving donations following the loss of their home.

The Los Angeles area has been hit by its worst wind storms in more than a decade, fueling fires that have destroyed thousands of structures and claimed at least 27 lives, although the total death toll is not yet known.

A fire in upscale Pacific Palisades consumed several celebrity homes, including Heidi and Spencer’s $2.5 million home in the neighborhood.

They fled the disaster zone with their two young children, Gunner, six, and Ryker, two, leaving behind most of their personal belongings.

Although Heidi and Spencer did not ask for donations, two of their TikTok friends created a GoFundMe for them, sparking outrage from social media users who pointed out that many less privileged people had also lost their homes.

Responding to the backlash, Spencer insisted that he and Heidi “aren’t rich,” adding that no one was “forced” to give them money and “it’s not a tax,” via Us weekly.

‘Speidi’, as they are known to fans, first rose to fame as a reality TV couple on The Hills, which concluded its run on MTV in 2010.

In addition to the more than $134,000 they got from GoFundMe, they’ve also been making money: Spencer, for example, has been selling her Pratt Daddy Crystals.

Meanwhile, Heidi fans have been streaming her 2010 album Superficial with such enthusiasm that her single I’ll Do It reached number one on iTunes US.

He had a little help from other celebrities, as his music was boosted on social media by Paris Hilton – who also lost a house in the fires – and Emily Ratajkowski.

Spencer has taken a defiant stance in the face of the GoFundMe backlash, saying, “We’re very used to negative things, so it’s pretty standard.” If people want to send their own money to whoever they want, it’s the equivalent of buying a celebrity’s products, buying their movie tickets.’

And he added: ‘People can do whatever they want with their own money and, thank God, there are people who want to support us and send us whatever.’

Spencer noted: “No one is required to do it and it is not a tax.” People can say what they want and have the right to their opinion. But all the people who send messages, ask to send money, ask to do the Amazon wish list.

Meanwhile, Spencer shared:

Meanwhile, Spencer shared, “The worst thing was, I’m sorry our kids’ room is so magical,” adding, “We do stories every night.”

He noted that it was his TikTok friends who “created a GoFundMe on their own and it kept going great and amazing.” And then they transferred it to us. “We are so grateful they did it and created the Amazon wish list.”

Heidi said she and Spencer were against soliciting money on a crowdfunding platform, but “our friends Brandon and Courtney were like, “We don’t care what you say. We know people who want to donate money to you and even if it is a donation. That will help you.”

She repeated: ‘So, we had no expectation that anyone would donate. I haven’t posted it, but there were a lot of people who wanted to donate $5.”

Spencer noted that many people donated small amounts like $5, which is “a coffee for someone, so someone bought us a coffee,” although he added, “There are some people it’s a larger number and I thanked each person.”

Turning his attention to his ‘haters’, he said: ‘No one thought we were rich celebrities until three days ago and it’s getting frustrating. For example, if you Google “Spencer,” it literally (says), “Broke, no net worth.”

He continued: “So now our house burns down, my parents’ house burns down (and) now we’re rich celebrities, which is infuriating because the media, respectfully, has never called us celebrities (and) has never called us rich.” .

Spencer said: ‘There’s no one with a brain who thinks we’re rich celebrities. It’s like they’re just haters trolling. People who support us and follow our lifestyle on social media see that we are not rich celebrities.”

The fans, he said, ‘see what we do every day. We’ve been posting our life on Snapchat for the last 11 years, all day long. Our audience knows we’re not rich celebrities, they know we only eat Mexican food and get organic eggs and they know we do. We filmed everything.’

He shared: ‘We put all our money into our house and our life to build something for our children to put their name on and every detail we maintained every year for the last eight years. Our house was 3000 square feet. It’s not a mansion in the Palisades.
