Oodie founder David Fogarty spends thousands each week on home masseuses, spirituality coaches
A young Aussie half-billionaire has revealed exactly what he spends his hard-earned on every week.
Aussie millionaire David Fogarty, founder of the wildly popular wearable blanket brand Oodie, has revealed exactly what he spends his hard-earned on every week.
The 29-year-old, who built a simple idea into a $250 million behemoth, says he forks thousands each week for everything from two gardeners, a weekly massage, and performance coaches focusing on “spirituality”.
In a recent Instagram video, Fogarty gave his followers a peek into what it costs to keep his life running smoothly.

He says he spends $1,000 a week on two gardeners to keep his property in check and about $500 on travel.
He spends $150 a week on a cleaner and also shells out $300 a week for a personal trainer, followed by another $300 a week for a home masseuse.
He mentions that he’ll “buy a car every now and again” but says his “addiction to photography equipment” is what he spends most on.
Fogarty is aware that his budget doesn’t exactly scream “relatable”.
“Let me say, I get it, this isn’t what everybody’s week looks like,” he said.
“Once you get a set amount of income, you can use it to buy your time back.”
Last year, the young entrepreneur revealed his $4.35m purchase in a house tour video posted to his YouTube channel.
“I was actually looking for a house in Noosa,” he told his 307,000 subscribers.
“I wasn’t actually going to buy another house in Adelaide but then I saw this and just instantly knew that I needed to go see it.”
He said he booked multiple inspections across the city but cancelled them all after seeing the 4-hectare Mylor farm.
“I didn’t even sell my own house, I just needed to move in to this one,” he told viewers.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home was purchased fully-furnished (for an additional $150,000) through real estate agent Dee-Anne Hunt Williams Real Estate.
The property last sold in 2018 for $1.41m.
Complete with paddocks, a ceramic workshop, an outdoor bath and room for two miniature goats, the property is an idyllic escape from the city.
“I grew up in the Hills so I would always just walk around in nature and think about ideas,” he said following the sale.
“Some people connect with nature and need it a lot more than others.
“As entrepreneurs, we kind of become conditioned to the amount of cortisol and stress that we are actually experiencing, and if you’re like me, you just want to work.”
