Hannah Hammond explains her nickname: at six, her dad wouldn't buy her a McFlurry because it cost more than a dollar. Growing up poor and seeing wealthier friends with horses and big houses, she decided young that she wanted a different life.
Chapters
Most people call me the McFlurry Millionaire because that's my earliest memory of wanting to be wealthy was wanting a McFlurry from McDonald's and my dad wouldn't buy it for me because it wasn't under a dollar. So that was, I don't know, maybe six or seven years old, I think is when that happened. I was born into a family that didn't have a lot of money and I just knew really young that that just wasn't the life that I wanted. And it didn't feel right and I didn't really have much to compare it to, but I had gotten these little glimpses of wealth. Like my best friend had horses and a really nice house and things like that. And I was, you know, four, six years old. And I realized pretty quickly, like, oh, I want that life. I don't really want this life that I have with my dad taking showers in pool or really hot AC in the summers and everything like that.
