Maybe not. If she has been smart about her money, then sure, she can fade away and live very comfortably.

But there have been plenty of people that precede her who once their income stream dried up, their finances went to shit.

I just think she will lose her show because public opinion on her will shift, and she will be seen as toxic to advertisers, that's all.
