I don't think they were that badly off to begin with, but now look at them.

Hi

Could you please help me with the part in red? What does "badly off" mean here? Thank you.

"It's a career. What can I tell you?" he continues. "It is a career; I'm not being cynical. And why wouldn't you? Look at the Kardashians, they're worth millions. Millions! I don't think they were that badly off to begin with, but now look at them. You see that and you think, 'What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f*cking idiot on television and then you'll pay me millions?'"
Regards
