Country music star Riley Green recently revealed a surprising detail about his finances: his mom still has access to his bank account and, even more surprisingly, his checkbook! The "There Was This Girl" singer shared the adorable tidbit while discussing his parents' love for thrifting.
During an interview with Taste of Country, Green explained how his dad called him about a potential purchase: an enclosed trailer for $750. Green, knowing that such trailers typically cost much more, suspected it might be "a piece of junk." When his dad suggested buying it on the spot, Green casually dropped the bombshell: "Yeah, man, mom's got my checkbook, just go – go get it."
It's refreshing to see a successful artist like Green so comfortable admitting his mom still plays a role in his finances. Considering his success, that checkbook is likely connected to a substantial account, a far cry from what it might have been years ago.
This revelation just adds another layer to Riley Green's appeal. His willingness to let his mom write checks from his account whenever something catches her eye is undeniably endearing.
Beyond his family's thrifting habits, Green himself enjoys the hunt for bargains. "When I go back to Alabama, there's this big flea market that they have on Saturdays and Sundays, and me and my dad go up there and look for bargains and people's used junk that nobody needs," he shared.
