People all over the world have been quick to give Chewbacca Mum gifts as a thank you for her heartwarming video. Mark Zuckerberg invited her to Facebook HQ to say thanks for her record breaking Facebook Live video, James Corden hooked up a meeting with Force Awakens director JJ Abrams, and last week Southeastern University in Florida gifted Candace and her entire family University scholarships. Candace's positive vibes have proved infectious, and an incredible money spinner for Candace and her family. The folks over at TIME Money have cracked out the calculators and worked out that Candace has earned up to $420,000 (just over £290,000 in real money) in gifts. Adding things up, the boffins have worked out Candace earned $3,000 in toys and gift cards from Kohl's after her shout out in the original video. Then came $7,500 from travel and TV appearances, a lovely holiday and convention tickets added things up more, before the free scholarships for Candace and her entire family gave up the big money. Not bad bit of monthly earnings from a stay at home mum from Grand Prairie, You can read the full breakdown of how much she has earned to date here. Now if you excuse us, we're off to try and make a viral video of our own, we fancy a trip to Mexico with our gift money...
