The Valley: Persian Style’s GG never had a job in her life, so what do her parents do?

If you’ve already peeked at The Valley: Persian Style season one, you may have been taken aback.

GG, aka Golnesa Gharachedaghi, casually drops a reality TV bomb… she’s never worked a real job before now.

Yep, she admits her parents always supported her financially.

Let’s unpack that, share a little context from her life and career, and dive into exactly what type of jobs her parents did that helped make that possible, with all the Valley: Persian Style backstage tea you crave.

GG admits she’s never had a job

During The Valley: Persian Style, GG literally tells the world that she’s never had a job in her life outside of being on reality TV, including Shahs of Sunset, and her first paycheck came from the franchise itself.

In a scene where she catches up with her father, she laughs about having to start making her own money now that her parents are “getting older” and she can’t just float on their support forever.

She jokes about hustling so she can spend her own money, and not “Papa’s money,” while she and her dad joke that her son, Eli, still has that luxury.

While GG has since launched ventures like a cannabis brand and a podcast, when she dropped that Shahs of Sunset provided her first paycheck, it’s a real eye-opener.

What do her parents do for jobs?

So if GG never had a traditional job, what about her parents? Their professions help explain how she was supported growing up and into adulthood.

GG’s father, Mahmoud Gharachedaghi, is a successful architect who reportedly runs a boutique architecture firm on the West Coast.

He’s not just some casual designer, he’s principal of GA Architecture and Planning, a well-established practice that’s been referenced in industry circles and even appeared on Shahs of Sunset early in the series.

His career status and business success have been a big reason GG’s childhood and adult life were financially cushioned.

GG’s mom has also worked in the Los Angeles textile and garment industry, giving her deep ties to the fashion and design world that permeates LA’s creative scene.

While not always in the spotlight like her husband, she’s been described as involved in clothing and textile work, adding another layer to the family’s professional foundation, per IMDb.

Together, her parents’ careers put GG in a very different upbringing compared with most folks. She comes from a wealthy family with business success and cultural capital.

That helps explain why she could float without a paycheck and still live comfortably, at least until adulting caught up with her on The Valley: Persian Style!
