Hélène Boudreau's Before & After Photos Show Her 1-Year Journey To Becoming A Millionaire

She says she went from sleeping on a floor mattress to owning two triplexes worth $3 million.

Senior Writer

It's hard to believe Hélène Boudreau entered the spotlight so recently – it was only April 2021 when her famous UQAM graduation photo made waves, giving her OnlyFans income a major boost.

Boudreau recently told Narcity Québec that sex work comes with getting "bashed" and "ridiculed," which is "hard on morale." But a new Instagram post throws shade at her haters, as she documents her journey from sleeping on a mattress on the floor to becoming a millionaire who owns two triplexes — all in the span of one year.

"First they laughed at me, but now they ask how i did this? " wrote Boudreau in the post. She also included photos of both versions of herself — one from a year ago and herself today.

"This one single picture I have in my hands changed my life drastically," Boudreau said, referencing her UQAM grad photo.

"Here's why: never in my existence I would've believed you if you had told me 1 year ago that I would be a millionaire before my 30th. [...] Exactly ONE YEAR AGO I was living in a colocation with my friend. I had just one mattress and a few boxes of clothes."

Boudreau went on to say she is now the "proud owner" of three triplexes — six units — valued at $3 million. She shared photos of the properties with the post.

"Believe me… in just one year your life can change for the very best. I believe in hard work but what's better than working hard, you may ask? Working smarter. That's the key to success," she said.

"Believe in yourself & you're halfway there. So cheesy but so goddamn true. Special thank you at my university and to all my clients you are the real mvp."
