Reality star sells her bum burps & getting rich never smelt so bad.
Stephanie Matto, a reality star who earnt her fame on the American series 90 Day Fiance, has taken to the socials to reveal an absurd way she makes money.
Posting multiple videos about her lucrative endeavour to her TikTok and Instagram, Stephanie claims to have made almost $50,000 selling jars of her farts.
Priced at something like $1,000 a pop (WTF, right?!), these jars earnt the influencer $45,000 in a single week.
In a behind-the-scenes video, Stephanie shares a day in the life of a girl who sells her farts in a jar, detailing what she likes to eat to kickstart the thunder downunder.
"I like to get things rolling with some beans, a protein muffin, sometimes even a yoghurt, some hard-boiled eggs."
"While I wait for those farts to develop, I like to read," she continues.
The former reality star than explains that she likes to place a rose petal in the jar before breaking wind as it helps "attach the scent."
She then writes a handwritten letter for the recipient, and sends it on it's way!
Naturally, we have MANY questions but firstly, practically speaking, how long do these stinkers last in the jar?
According to Stephanie, "the smell is most prominent for the first two days, but as I like to say, one whiff makes memories that last a lifetime."
Secondly - and perhaps most importantly - why on earth would someone purchase a fart in a jar from a D-Grade celebrity?
Stephanie speculates she has her charisma and looks to thank.
"I honestly think it's because I have a really good personality and also because I'm hot."

This December, one person and their entourage is allowed to travel the world without any restrictions - and we're very happy for that!
That person is, of course, Santa Claus and his faithful crew of reindeer.
But did you know that every Christmas since 1955 we’ve been able to track Santa’s progress around the world as he delivers his presents to everyone?
The NORAD Santa Tracker follows Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve, allowing kids and adults to see what he’s up to at every minute of his journey.
It's a bit of magical fun, and we need plenty of that right now.
NORAD is the military organisation that tracks everything that flies in and around Canada and the United States, but on December 24 it also has the special mission of tracking Santa as he flies across the world.
And how do they do it? Well the NORAD satellites have special sensors that can see the heat that comes off Rudolph’s shiny, red nose! Very clever!
Here's how to track Santa
Head to the NORAD Santa Tracker website, which is live now with a heap of fun Christmas activities for the kids. The Santa tracker will go live at 4am on Christmas Eve so you can track Santa as he packs his sleigh and sets off for his round-the-world delivery misison.
You can also download the NORAD Tracks Santa from the App store and Google Play

So you’ve left your shopping till late again. Don’t worry we all do it year in year out and it’s lists like these 10 Tech Gifts that can be real lifesavers especially for people who are buying for tech enthusiasts or budding social media influencers. We’ve reviewed and compared some major tech advances this year so we thought this list might come in handy as a one-stop guide for you during the holiday season.
1: Anko 360 Smart Selfie Stand
First up is the Anko 360 Degree Smart Selfie Phone Stand. It might sound like something that you say three times fast while holding your tongue but this little device is a real little beauty. It’s like having a personal photographer that keeps your phone focused on you. It uses AI to track your movements and swivels your phone to always face you. Great for someone setting up a video for a new TikTok dance or cooking video.
You can grab one at KMart and best of all we tested it against some of the big-name more expensive versions and found this to be a really good option. $19 is a nice little stocking filler.
2: OlumiRing LED Ring Light
Getting that perfect shot from your phone or via your laptop webcam is all down to lighting. So the perfect affordable solution is the OlumiRing which is an LED ring light that clips onto your device increasing the brightness and bringing out the best in your image. There are cheaper options, but not all deliver as good an experience. Pick one up for about $36.
3: Buzz B-Gone
Aussie Barbeques over Christmas are the perfect pastime, except when they are attacked by classic Aussie bugs like mosquitos. Buzz B-Gone has a solution that comes in the form of a USB-charged device with a 2000mAH battery (so it lasts a long time). This bug zapper is portable and safe for children and pets. They can be a bit on the expensive side at $60 each. But if you get a pack of 3 it will work out cheaper and will cover more people's presents.
4: Ring Video Doorbell
RING Video doorbell. Summer safety for your home is a big necessity over the holiday break, especially if you are looking to get away for a few nights. These video doorbells have motion tracking and link to your phone so you can keep an eye on your home while you are away. The subscription service allows you to keep the video as well, which could come in handy to pass over to the police if something does happen. RING works best with Amazon products and also has other camera solutions for protection if you want to cover the house.
5: Thronmax Mdrill One Pro Microphone
We’ve tested several different streaming or podcasting microphones over the year so when we had to choose one that would fit in this list the most versatile model was the Thronemax Mdrill One Pro. Perfect for starting that podcast or improving the sound quality on your gaming stream setup. It’s come down in price as well, pick it up for $168 at JB HiFi. The matching Thronmax Caster S1 boom arm stand is a good addition for it if you want to go all in.
6: GoCube Smart Rubik's Cube
This could be a big seller this Christmas. It’s a great talking point at your Christmas day lunch as well. You link the cube to an app and can play against other people online and get lessons on completing the cube in record time. Great fun and a perfect STEM learning experience.
7: FitBit Charge 5
It could be a subtle hint to get out and enjoy the summer activities after being cooped up for a year. Fitbit Charge 5 connects the dots between your activity, sleep and stress so you can make the best decisions for your body, mind and health. Daily Readiness Score – Each morning, you’ll get a score in the Fitbit app based on your activity, sleep, and heart rate variability. EDA sensor – The app detects electrodermal activity — tiny changes in your skin’s sweat level which may indicate your body’s response to stress. Recommended to sell at around $300 this is a great smartwatch option.
8: GoPro Hero 10
This action cam has only recently been released and is a vast improvement on the Hero 9 from last year which was already one of our favourite action cams. The Hero 10 sports a new GP2 processor that really speeds up the whole experience and the quality of the camera is second to none. Worth picking up for $599.95 with the one-year subscription.
9: Personal Arcade Machine
Arcade One Up has a selection of licensed retro Arcade machines for your home. If you know a Simpsons fan or Marvel or Mortal Kombat you’ll be able to find a machine that will fit nicely into a games room or man-cave. My pick of the bunch is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles machine which was one of the greatest arcade experiences of all time.
- The Simpsons 4-Player (Live!) Bundle ($1,399) – featuring ‘The Simpsons’ and ‘Simpsons Bowling’

An Aussie real estate agency is copping backlash after emailing renters a list of suggested gifts for their landlords.
A screenshot shared to Reddit shows the awkward email that a Queensland based Real Estate agency sent to their tenants in the lead up to Christmas.
The communication encourages renters to purchase their landlord a Christmas gift, and lists five options for them to choose from.
Ranging from $50 to $115, tenants can select a 'White Wine Grazing Box', 'Festive Sweets Box', 'Self Car Hamper', 'Foodies Hamper' or 'All Things Golden' gift set.
The email reads, "the time has come again to start thinking about and celebrating Christmas!".
"This year has been particularly challenging for both our tenants and property owners alike and we understand some tenants would like to tahnk their property owner for everything in 2021."
"The choice to be involved in this is 1005 optional and you are certainly under no obligation to do so."
"Our team are happy to facilitate the purchasing of a gift on your behalf and have it delivered to the property owner with a handwritten note to say thank you, directly from you."
Naturally, the Internet is in a tizzy over the memo with many Australian renters slamming the Real Estate agency for being tactless.
"Wow, tone deaf much," one user commented.
Another implied that they've already gifted their landlord, saying 'Yes, it's called increased rent and overcharging on water bill. Merry Christmas.'
Someone else wrote, 'I'm happy to send a basket with a note saying 'here's all of the maintenance that needs doing... you've got 28 (days) to get on-top of it or seek a court ordered rent reduction until they're fixed.'
Meanwhile, one kind landlord joined the conversation saying, 'I normally give my tenants a week's free rent for Xmas.'
While it seems most of the community find the email a little ridiculous - particularly given the rise of Brisbane rent prices over the past 12 months - other members are defending the Real Estate Agent.
"certainly an email with almost the exact same wording went to owners offering to give a hamper to tenants," said one user.
What do you think? Should renters buy their landlord a Christmas present?
