Comedian and Breakfast Club cohost, Jess Hilarious, recently sat down with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay, revealing her next-level financial preparedness long before joining the iconic radio show.
Between jaw-dropping designer investments and recent on-air drama, Jess has proved she’s as strategic with her coins as she is with her punchlines.
During the candid interview, Jess, 31, shared that her role on The Breakfast Club hasn’t even touched her savings. “That’s an account I don’t touch,” she told Sharpe. “I have six Birkins already, and that was before Breakfast Club.”
The Baltimore-born star, who rose to fame through viral comedy sketches and sold-out tours, emphasized her hustle-first mindset. Her Birkins, the ultra-exclusive Hermès status symbols, aren’t just flexes but part of a savvy portfolio.
“Those are investment bags. $70Kbags… $80K bags. They are the bags I plan to sell, just in case. They ain’t all for wear,” Jess Hilarious added.
Jess’ revelation comes at a time when she’s making major waves in the industry. Originally from Baltimore, she’s built a solid career in comedy, selling out shows across the country and amassing a loyal digital fanbase. From her viral Jess With The Mess sketches to becoming a fearless voice on The Breakfast Club, her rise has been nothing short of impressive.
But while Jess has been stacking designer goods, she’s also been stacking headlines. Just recently, she found herself in the middle of an on-air dust-up with her Breakfast Club cohosts and newcomer Loren Lorosa. Jess made it known that she felt unsupported by her team following harsh comments comparing LoRosa’s presence on the show to hers. She also accused the show of painting her as a “villain” because she sought clarity about her role upon returning.
“How I pick her to fill in for me, and when I come back, she ain’t never leave,” she began about Loren LoRosa. “Nobody had a problem with Jess With The Mess until she started reading right.”
The heated exchange, which played out on-air and later spilled onto social media, had fans buzzing about the tension brewing behind the mic.
Still, drama aside, Jess remains a growing empire, a sharp business sense, and a stash of six-figure handbags doubling as investments.
