I still don't understand why the whole family *had* to move to California and interrupt training. Like Gabby went to the nickelodeon awards, and bam! they acted as if she was going to sign multi-million dollar acting deal the next day. Like that money from the gold medals and endorsements was burning a hole in their pockets and they needed to spend it all immediately and the fastest way was to get a mansion in Hollywood.
I understand the feeling of being indebted to your mom when she took out another mortgage on the house and made a million and one sacrifices for you to reach your goals, but she doesn't owe her a thing. Helping mom pay off the house or get something a little nicer is reasonable and something I would probably do in her shoes... but the whole family working for "Gabby Inc." while they sit around waiting for her to get more endorsements and gigs and a TV show for them is ridiculous. And while the internet estimates her current net worth at $3mil, it also states the deals she signed in 2012 were worth $10mil... if all true, that family has burned through $7 million dollars in ~3 years. Money that could have been invested to take care of Gabby for the rest of her life and any future goals she may make.
Now that she is an adult for these games, I hope no one in her family sees a cent of the money Team USA's medals bring her and any new endorsements get her. But who am I kidding? Her mom will take the majority.
