Michal Ansky on her financial situation: "A 24-year-old girl earns more than me today"
The legendary judge of "MasterChef" speaks candidly about the big money behind the scenes, the pressure to land campaigns, how she plans her next business empire, and her past financial situation: "I am talking about a livelihood" | All the details
Michal Ansky has long since ceased to be satisfied with just the title of a TV star, and these days she is focused on building a business empire and expanding her sources of income. In a candid interview with Israel Hayom, she laid her cards on the table and, among other things, spoke a lot about money, the economic model of the entertainment world, and the decision to diversify her businesses beyond the screen.
"When you live in the media for many years, you are constantly measured — ratings bring campaigns that require you to constantly generate headlines, followers, and likes," she admits candidly, adding that in this race, "it is very easy to start confusing attention with value."
This confusion led her to a dramatic decision regarding the allocation of her time and income: "Today I am building my life so that television is just one of the arenas in which I operate, alongside entrepreneurship, medicine, and technology."
One of the most surprising and profitable entrepreneurial arenas that Ansky has recently entered is the AI (Artificial Intelligence) women's community she founded. She clarifies that the main goal of the venture is to create economic mobility for women. "AI allows them quantum growth, independence, and the ability to express themselves, a healthy ability. I am talking about a livelihood," she explains.
To illustrate the enormous economic potential, she shares an amazing fact about one of the members of her community:
"A 24-year-old girl who did not finish a bachelor's degree, but in my opinion earns more than me today, because since the age of 22 she has built a system that works for her and serves her."
Alongside the high-tech business, Ansky continues to develop her physical ventures, which are a strong economic engine. She is an active partner in "Shari Herring," the family business that continues to expand. "Eyal, who is the owner of the business, built a food truck, and I am already imagining us hitting the road with it, returning to Ashdod, to Kiryat Shmona, to Beersheba, and to all corners of the country," she shares with enthusiasm.
In addition, she is investing resources in establishing a new clinic in Kiryat Ono. "I am establishing a new clinic that was born out of my personal story," she reveals, explaining that the place will start with expertise in facial reconstruction and from there will develop into the profitable worlds of aesthetics and regenerative medicine.
Ansky's shift in perception regarding money and career is also seeping back to the judges' table of "MasterChef," to which she is now returning in the "All-Stars" season. This time, she explains, the judging carries enormous economic and business weight, as these are not amateurs but professional chefs and culinary business owners who are putting their economic future on the line.
"Judging them is a responsibility that is completely different from judging amateurs who want to enter the field," she clarifies the weight of the responsibility and concludes: "This is their livelihood, their reputation. It is terribly intimate."
