Kendra Wilkinson reportedly earned as much as $500,000 in six months as a stripper before joining Playboy.
The 29-year-old star has confessed she began taking her clothes off for money at just 18 years old after becoming bored of her jobs as a dental assistant and pizza delivery girl.
She said: ‘I’m a free spirit; I wanted to see how much I could earn. I like to party and I like to have fun.
‘It was easy, I just walked around the pole, took my clothes off and then the money just came flying at me.’
The blonde beauty – who has 4-year-old son, Hank Baskett IV and 7-month old daughter, Alijah with her former American football player husband, Hank Baskett – claims it was easy money and revealed it was just a matter of months until Playboy magnate, Hugh Hefner invited her to become one of his ‘girlfriends’.
Speaking on British reality TV show ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! about how she phoned the nearest strip club to find out about getting a job, Kendra said: ‘How do I become a stripper? They’re just, ‘Come in and we’ll talk to you’.
‘I go in and I’m big-eyed and these girls are on the poles doing the stuff. In the US when you turn 18 you’re allowed to go and a stripper licence so I went and did that and it took off. And all my clothes took off to!
‘My first night I made $4,000 just by sitting with a guy.’
