Colin and Andrea Chisholm are a white Florida couple who live in a mobile home and collect welfare benefits.

The only problem with this scenario is that the mobile home is a $1.2 million yacht and the benefits collected tally $176,000.


The couple has been fraudulently receiving welfare benefits from Minnesota to Florida and living a life of nobility. In fact, according to authorities, they demanded to be called “Lord and Lady Chisholm,” raised fancy dogs, and used more than $60,000 in public assistance money on massages. The Chisholms are facing 20 years in prison, but may have fled the United States.
