Chelsea also divulged that her independence and business model comes from a humble childhood of being raised with five siblings by her used-car salesman father, Seymour, and homemaker mother, Rita.

'I always wanted the opposite of what I had growing up,' the New Jersey native said.

She continued: 'I didn’t ever want to rely on a man to provide for me.'
