Married At First Sight EXCLUSIVE: Stacey Hampton’s leaked bank statement proves she NEVER needed Michael Goonan’s money
Married At First Sight’s Stacey Hampton has sold the $5,500 Louis Vuitton handbag her ex-‘husband’, Michael Goonan, gifted her during the experiment.
The 26-year-old donated the $3,000 proceeds to On the Line suicide prevention charity on March 28, proving once and for all that she doesn’t need the millionaire’s cash.
She provided Daily Mail Australia with a screenshot of the funds leaving her bank account on April 1 – after she was accused of faking the re-sale and donation.

When he debuted on MAFS in February, Stacey was branded a ‘gold digger’ by viewers.
She was unfairly edited to only appear interested in now ex-‘husband’ Michael at their wedding after discovering he was a millionaire company director.
The mother-of-two has slammed her portrayal, insisting she is financially secure herself and doesn’t need any money from a man.
Her generous charity donation after selling the expensive designer handbag seems to confirm that Stacey really doesn’t need Michael’s money.

Stacey’s own personal wealth became apparent during her homestay episode, when Michael visited her Adelaide home, where she lives with her two children.
The law graduate drives a $90,000 Range Rover Velar, boasts a $20,000 shoe collection and has more designer handbags than some department stores.
Many viewers were left wondering how the single mother-of-two could afford such luxuries
However, Daily Mail Australia later revealing the heartbreaking reason she can – Stacey inherited a significant sum of money from her father and brother’s estates following their tragic deaths several years ago.
She put the money into a family trust, which she later used to start several business ventures in South Australia.
‘I had my own financial stability [before MAFS] with more than Michael could have provided,’ said Stacey recently, hitting back at claims she’s a ‘gold digger’.
