Career

Villegas is a well-known entrepreneur, stripper, and influencer.

Stripper

Villegas has been engaged with strip clubs in her hometown of Chicago since she attained the legal age (18). She earned money by performing on stage, taking clients to champagne rooms, and doing lap dances. The profession helped her to pay her bills, rent and support her extravagant lifestyle. During the initial days, Villegas used to make money from $2,000 to $10,000 per week depending on the popularity of the club and the number of days she worked. It was her primary source of income then.

She eventually became a social media sensation, gaining a reputation as a stripinfluencer. She is currently a part-time stripper.

COVID-19

On 5 April 2020, Villegas released a video titled 'Stripping & Taxes/ How Much I Really Make?' on her self-titled YouTube channel. In the video, she revealed her revenue as a stripper and shared that she could make anything from $5,000 to $26,000 per month working five nights a week at the club. 

However, the COVID-19 pandemic in early March 2020 in the USA left the clubs with less clients, and that receded her income. Eventually, the club shuttered its activities under state policy, and her income as a stripper became defunct. 

"I was concerned about contracting the virus and potentially spreading it to others," Villegas shared with Yahoo Life in 2020, about her worry on the surging cases of COVID-19. "The club is not an essential business, and it is a close-contact job so the coronavirus closing down the clubs left all dancers without that large source of income," she added.

Nevertheless, she had her economic profile intact through her social media reputation and merchandise business.

Influencer

As of October 2021, Villegas's YouTube channel has 1.74 million subscribers and 156 million views, while her Instagram account has 504 thousand followers. The majority of the video on her YouTube channel is related to her part-time profession as a stripper. Through her Youtube videos, she aims to show the reality of the stripping business and debunk society's negative impressions about the sex industry. She also posts videos about cosmetics, beauty, personal vlogs, and luxury conveyances on her channel.

With no particular purpose, Villegas started a YouTube channel. She has been shooting videos with a phone camera and using rudimentary editing software. However, she wanted to change public perceptions about strippers and the sex business by educating them, which she continues to do in her videos and posts. 

Besides, Villegas is renowned for being a genuine and modest influencer with a kind and encouraging comment area beneath her videos. Her name has been dubbed "the real one" by the public due to her distinctiveness, which implies she is honest and open with her channel's viewers. 

Unlike other influencers, she is open about plastic surgeries she has undergone and plans to have any in the future. It enhances her reputation as real and honest.

'Day in the Life of a Stripper' is her most popular video on YouTube, with over 14 million views as of October 2021. As the title suggests, she provides her daily routine as a stripper in the video.

Her social media interactions have helped her to amass a sizable net worth.

Business Ventures

Villegas is the founder and proprietor of the Tina V Dancewear clothing business. She is also the owner of the clothing merchandise, Shuper Cute.

Personal Life

According to her Instagram post dated 11 June 2021, Villegas bought her first real estate building. She also informed her followers that she was going to remodel it for renting purposes.
