Tammy Hembrow has revealed the very surprising career she had before becoming a multi-millionaire influencer.
The social media star, 31, recently shared a clip on TikTok and said one of the first jobs she ever had as a teenager was as a telemarketer, where she had to make sales cold calls over the phone.
‘I hated this job so much. This was after high school, I had to call people up and try to get them to buy solar panels,’ Tammy began.
She found the role extremely difficult, saying it took a huge mental toll on her.
‘I used to cry before and after every shift; I just wasn’t cut out for it. I would call people and they’d scream at me,’ she said.
‘I was so sensitive; one time I cried during a shift. They yelled and hung up on me—I literally started crying.’

‘Oh my gosh, it was the worst job. People were so mean to me, I am scarred. But the pay was so good when I was fresh out of high school, so I stuck it out as long as I could. It was awful.’
Telemarketing positions in Australia are usually offered on a part-time or casual basis and often have a base salary of around $30 an hour, along with performance-based bonuses.
Tammy soared to fame and fortune several years after leaving the role and now boasts a staggering net worth of $50million.
She made her fortune after launching her activewear label, Saski Collection, in 2017 and her designs are now sold in more than 190 countries.
Subscriptions for her Tammy Fit app have also been a success and range from $114.99 per year to $24.99 per month.
In addition to her two fitness-related companies, Saski Collection and Tammy Fit, she boasts 17.1million followers on Instagram and 1.31 million subscribers on YouTube.
Tammy also owns a luxurious $2.88million five-bedroom waterfront mansion on the Gold Coast which she purchased in August 2020.
The property features a deck, located behind glass doors, and is set on a gorgeous stretch of water, as well as a pool.
