Appearing on MAFS Australia 2024 can certainly change a cast member’s financial situation, as they can score lucrative brand and book deals amongst other opportunities, with Lucinda making some serious bank. Out of all of the cast members to appear on the show she has absolutely been the most successful contestant, and is even doing a huge tour of the UK this summer!

Since MAFS Australia 2024 ended Lucinda has made over £200,000 from her various ventures, including in ticket sales, subscription services and as a registered wedding celebrant. But she wasn’t always so financially secure, as Lucinda revealed on her Instagram that prior to starting MAFS she was “officially broke” for the first time in her life and had to “borrow money” from her friends and family in order to get by.

A post shared by Lucinda Light (@lucindaslight)

In the caption, she explained: “Last year, I was officially broke for the first time in my adult life & had to borrow money which didn’t feel good. It was incredibly stressful & getting ready for MAFS pushed me to my limit. There were many reasons for this: living in expensive Byron, dealing with Covid restrictions as an events person, managing the aftermath and health demands of a breakdown, the Northern Rivers floods, & preparing for MAFS. I had to dig deep, sell my beloved VW van & ask friends/designers for help.

“A massive shout-out to the talented friends & designers who helped enhance my wardrobe with fabulous pieces. I’m so grateful for each of you! I love you all! Your generous hearts helped me get organized for the show. Your flair and fabulousness made all the difference. So much love and gratitude to creators, small business owners, & the kind-hearted souls among us. Wishing each of you a huge amount of success! Thank you.”

She should be so proud of all the success she’s had since leaving the show, and what incredible friends to help her out and make her such gorgeous outfits!
