96-year-old Grandma Droniak earns from social media to cover nursing home fees

Ninety-six-year-old Lillian Droniak, known as Grandma Droniak, has 15 million followers on TikTok and earns enough from brand deals to cover her $12,000 (£9,000) monthly nursing home fees in Connecticut. She is part of a trend where older women, like 82-year-old Viv Truran from Cardiff with over 800,000 Instagram followers, are gaining online fame by sharing content on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, demonstrating new income streams and a positive outlook on aging.
