Hawk Tuah woman moved to tears as she’s paid staggering amount for appearance

Only a month has gone by since THAT video and well, Haliey Welch is rolling in it after getting paid thousands for one club appearance

It has been one month since the video of the 'Hawk Tuah' woman was posted, and the Benjamins are rolling in.

Haliey Welch coined the phrase 'Hawk Tuah' followed by 'spit on that thang' during a viral video that got posted on TikTok and YouTube, by content creators Tim & Dee TV - who have since complained they've not received enough recognition for making Welch go viral.

Just so we're all reading from the same hymn sheet, 25-year-old Tim Dickerson and 24-year-old DeArius Marlow, AKA Tim & Dee, asked Haliey: "What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?"

Her reply: "You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thing, you get me?"

Well, that 15-word reply was enough for Haliey to trademark the phrase 'Hawk Tuah' for comedy and apparel purposes, and she's also reportedly being paid serious cash for public appearances nowadays.

According to sources close to TMZ, Haliey raked in a staggering $30,000 for appearing at Daer Dayclub at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

The pool party was thrown in the east coast state, in the city between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, to celebrate Haliey hitting one million Instagram followers over the weekend - and since then she now has 1.1 million followers.

She also judged a bikini competition and was joined by her Chelsea Bradford, who was by her side in the viral video.

Footage from the event shows Haliey moved to tears, with the amount of attention she's got over the past month likely to be a bit surreal.

And it's not just her public appearances that are raking in cash.

Family-run business Fathead Threads, owned by Jason Poteete, of Marshall County, Tennessee, teamed up with Haliey to sell hats with 'Hawk Tuan '24' on them.

Speaking to the Rolling Stone, Poteete estimated that in the first few days the shop had sold just over 2,000 hats, earning an estimated $65,000.

Talking to her followers last week, Haliey put to bed some of the rumors which have been circulating about her.

She said: "Am I a school teacher? That's false, I worked in a spring plant for about 10 months - but I don't work there anymore, but I'm not a school teacher.

"Did I really get fired from my job? That is false, I quit my job to go travel."

Well Haliey, you can certainly go traveling now - and you could probably make a few more bob at club appearances in every continent on the planet.
