Nina Dobrev may have millions of dollars these days, but she didn’t grow up in a wealthy family. That being said, she was eager to start bringing in her own money before she even hit adulthood. Born in Bulgaria, the actress grew up in Canada and told InStyle in 2018, “I got my first savings account when I was 14 or 15 — whatever the legal age is to work in Canada — because I got a job almost immediately.” She explained, “I was always a go-getter. I was born in Eastern Europe, so I have this Eastern European/Bulgarian mentality.”
“I didn’t really have much growing up, so everything was valued,” Dobrev noted regarding her upbringing. Admitting that the family had to shop at a used clothing store called Value Village, “which is kind of like Salvation Army,” she recalled that her “mom nicknamed it Versace, so if anyone asked, [they] would say [they] went to Versace.”
Nowadays, Dobrev can drop a small fortune at the real Versace store anytime she wants. In fact, she’s popped up in London slaying a Versace dress and took a trip to Paris for a Versace fashion show in July 2014, which truly proves just how far she’s come.
