Whitney Ainscough, 31, has become one of Britain's most controversial online personalities. Dubbed a 'benefits influencer', she built her following by teaching others how to maximise their welfare payments — and now allegedly earns close to £500,000 (about $676,292) a year through social media advertising and commissions.
Yet despite her six-figure success, Ainscough still lives in a reduced-rent council house, sparking fierce public criticism and fuelling debates over the UK's welfare system.
