Israeli social media influencer Danit Greenberg disclosed that she was once offered a significant sum to participate in the reality show "Survivor" during a period of severe financial hardship following her high-profile divorce from Eliab Ozan. Greenberg, who gained fame on "Big Brother," shared in an Instagram story that after her divorce, she was in a dire financial state, with all her money going towards legal fees, and her parents were supporting her with rent for a small apartment.
Facing financial distress, Greenberg accepted the "Survivor" offer, despite admitting the challenging format was completely unsuited to her, citing her fear of insects and picky eating habits. She stated she accepted "for the money."
However, the COVID-19 pandemic led to repeated postponements of the show's filming. During this period, Greenberg experienced significant growth in her online presence, finding her voice and audience, which led to increased earnings. This financial improvement diminished her need for the "Survivor" prize money.
When filming eventually became possible, Greenberg canceled her participation. She expressed relief, believing she would have been the first contestant eliminated due to her unsuitability for the show's conditions. The article also notes the substantial production costs of "Survivor," estimated at approximately 27 million shekels, including logistics, travel, equipment, security, and medical teams.
Greenberg's decision to forgo the show and focus on her online career proved beneficial, leading to her current successful and profitable ventures.
