Her wealth has been potentially elevated significantly thanks to her husband, who has an estimated net worth over $1 million.

Early Life
Very limited information is available about Khalyla before her rise to fame and association with Bobby Lee. According to her, she is half Filipino and half Egyptian, and while she was born in the Philippines, her family then migrated to the US where she would grow up alongside a sister. After matriculating from high school, she enrolled into college to study for a degree in biochemistry.

MMA and Podcasting

One of the most popular and the biggest promotion for the sport is Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which boasts having many of the top fighters from around the world.
She along with her husband would later start a video podcast on the website YouTube, entitled TigerBelly, which has gained a massive amount of popularity with over 300,000 subscribers. Their podcast revolved around their life as Asians in America, discussing politics, the entertainment industry, sexuality, racism, adolescence, ethnicity, and more. During the latter part of the podcast, the duo answer questions from readers on a segment called Unhelpful Advice. They also have a feature called The MMA minute, on which both hosts discus mixed martial arts. Khalyla wasn’t originally planned to be on the podcasts, but after trying it out in the first episode, the duo had a lot of chemistry, leading the show to move forward with the both of them
