90 Day Fiancé: Can Michael Ilesanmi Work In The United States? (Why Didn’t He Close GoFundMe Campaign After The Goal Was Met?)
It looks like Michael Ilesanmi from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?can work in the United States but instead chooses to use money raised through fundraising to enjoy his American life. The Nigerian man started dating Angela Deem in 2017 and invited her to Nigeria to further their relationship. Unfortunately, Michael’s journey with Angela wasn’t as smooth as that of other couples in the season. He was shocked to discover that Angela wasn’t the sweet woman he expected but rather a toxic person who wanted to control every aspect of his life.
Michael stayed with Angela regardless of her disrespectful behavior. He gave her numerous chances to improve her attitude, but she showed no concern for his feelings. Despite the massive age gap and trust issues, Michael married Angela to show his commitment. However, Angela could never establish a trusting relationship with Michael. In late 2023, Michael left his home country to live with Angela in the United States. However, even his significant move didn’t improve Angela’s bad attitude towards him, ultimately leading him to give up and leave her.
Has Michael Ilesanmi Fully Settled In America After Dumping Angela Deem?
Michael has moved on since breaking up with Angela in February. Initially, he called some of his friends, who helped him find a temporary place to stay. Within a few days, Michael found a decent apartment that allowed him to live a peaceful life in Texas. The 90 Day Fiancé franchise star’s apartment also helped him stay connected to his new American-Nigerian community, where he could socialize with friends, play sports, and enjoy his single life. In his latest videos, Michael appears happier than he had been in the past six years.
According to blogger John Yates, Michael has since upgraded his place. He moved into a larger and fancier apartment in Houston, Texas. Michael also started using his new home as a bachelor pad to impress women. One of the latest rumors suggests Michael recently hooked up with a married woman. He invited her into his new apartment, where he helped her cheat on her husband. The woman allegedly felt “disgusted” after her romantic encounter with Michael and alleged screenshots of her chat with him.
Is It Possible For Michael Ilesanmi To Work In The U.S.?
Michael was working as a bus admin in Nigeria when he first met Angela. However, he left his job after his wife started paying his bills. Michael tried to make some extra income between 2021 and 2022 by returning to social media, hoping to cash in on his reality TV popularity. However, Angela didn’t let him stay active for long and made him delete every platform. The defeated Michael had no full-time job before coming to the United States. He relied on Angela to provide for everything, whether food or shelter.
According to the blogger John, Michael now has a Social Security number (SSN) alongside his immigration visa. Therefore, it looks like he’s free to work in the United States.
So far, it doesn’t seem like the Nigerian reality star has created an account on LinkedIn to find work. Therefore, Michael is likely still unemployed and living life. His fancy lifestyle suggests he’s living off his savings, reality TV money, and the $50k he raised via GoFundMe. Michael allegedly already has a car and wears fancy outfits, expensive gold chains, and accessories.

So far, Michael doesn’t seem to have a specific career goal. He lacks the same ambition as other foreign 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast members, like Omar Albakour, Anfisa Arkhipchenko, or Miona Bell, who have always harbored aspirations of making a name for themselves.
Instead, he’s seeking the easiest path to make money and enjoy his single life without financial concerns. Michael had previously expressed that he wanted to make a passive income. His objective appears to be achieving success on social media to benefit from being a popular reality TV star.
His desire to generate a passive income suggests he wants a relaxed lifestyle in the United States without the necessity of a job. Nonetheless, Michael has already started cashing in on his fame, as evidenced by his large following and high views on TikTok. Michael charges $60 for a personalized message on Cameo. He has established a significant online presence with over 163K followers on Instagram. Michael occasionally goes live on TikTok to interact with fans, likes to share updates, and converse with fellow cast members. He has also raised more than $50k on GoFundMe, which will provide long-term financial support.
Why Is Michael Ilesanmi’s GoFundMe Campaign Still Active?
Michael started his GoFundMe in August. He begged fans to help him raise enough money to hire a lawyer to fight Angela in court. Initially, Michael began his fundraiser with an outrageous goal of $50k. However, he soon realized his mistake and changed it to $25k, making it seem like he needed that money for legal fees. According to the blogger John, Michael probably lied about his needs, as lawyer expenses are often close to $10k in such cases. He implied the 90 Day Fiancé franchise alum was conning his followers and fans.
Michael reached his fundraising goal of $25k within a few days. However, instead of closing the donation page, he continued to accept more donations. As of September, Michael has received over $52k in donations. Despite this, he hasn’t closed the page and is still accepting money. It appears that Michael is aiming to collect as much money as possible, knowing that he may not have another opportunity to raise funds in the future. The 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? alum likely wants to make the most of his current fundraising effort.
