Per her own words, she says, "I grew up in the small town of Cleburne, Texas where my hunting career started." So, her hunting career began in Texas as a little girl going on outings with her father. She then goes on to say that she made her first trip to Africa at age 9 and then again at 13, 14 (x2) and 19.

I returned to Africa the next summer in 2009 (age 14) to finish my quest for The Big 5. This time I went on a 28 day safari and took an Elephant with a shot from a .416 Remington and finished it off with my dad's .470 Nitro Express. Along with the elephant I also harvested a charging Cape buffalo and a huge maned lion. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to take a leopard on this trip, so I returned 2 weeks later for another 14 day safari.

I have to assume that her family has money as I don't understand how a 14-year old could pay for a 28-day safari to Africa and then return
two weeks later for a 14-day safari.
If her becoming a "famous" reality TV star makes them millions, I suppose it will have been worth the investment to them.
