She received a big pay rise when she was promoted to Sunrise co-anchor in March, after Sam Armytage quit the Seven breakfast show.
And now Natalie Barr has received another unexpected windfall – although perhaps not as big as she would like.
The 53-year-old revealed on Wednesday she’d been given a whopping ‘one cent refund’ from her bank – before asking fans for ideas as to how she should spend it.
Hey big spender: Natalie Barr has received another unexpected windfall – although perhaps not as big as she would like
Sharing a photo of her letter from Westpac, the mother of two asked her followers on Instagram: ‘Any idea how I can spend my one cent refund?’
The tongue-in-cheek post comes after Natalie’s predecessor on Sunrise, Sam Armytage, addressed why she doesn’t follow her former co-stars on social media.
On Wednesday, Sam, 44, offered a vague response when grilled about the subject by radio host Kyle Sandilands on her Something to Talk About podcast.
The KIIS FM star asked her: ‘I read that you were unfollowing [David Koch] and Nat! Did you unfollow these people?’

Through awkward laughter, Sam responded: ‘I don’t think I unfo…’ before trailing off and adding: ‘I don’t think anyone’s following anyone in there.’
Indeed, despite being colleagues for years, neither Kochie nor Natalie are in the 1.2k people that Sam follows.
The pair, who currently host Sunrise together since Sam’s departure in March, still happily follow her themselves.

Eek! Through awkward laughter, Sam responded: ‘I dont think I unfo…’ before trailing off and adding: ‘I don’t think anyone’s following anyone in there’
Gone: Sam’s still follows many of her former Seven co-workers, including Kylie Gillies and Sam Mac. However, a search for David Koch on her ‘following’ list yields no results
Not on the list: She is also not following Natalie, as shown here
Sam still follows many of her former Channel Seven colleagues, including Kylie Gillies, Sam Mac and Edwina Bartholomew.
It comes after Kochie 65, and Natalie revealed they weren’t invited to Sam’s farewell party, which took place after her last day on Sunrise on March 11.
The pair were grilled about Sam’s departure on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, and they admitted weren’t even told about the shindig at Catalina in Rose Bay.
‘We didn’t know about it and we had a postponed Christmas party the next day,’ said Koch.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported on March 8 that Sam and Kochie’s professional relationship had hit an ‘all-time low’ in the months before her resignation.

Network sources claimed they barely spoke off camera, and the dynamic between them had become ‘untenable’ by early 2021.
Sam has previously said in her column for Stellar magazine she is quite selective with the people she follows on social media.
It’s possible she isn’t following the current Sunrise hosts because she wants to move on from that chapter in her life.
In March, Sam stepped down from hosting Channel Seven’s breakfast show after eight years in order to spend more time with her family.
Her departure followed her intimate wedding to millionaire businessman Richard Lavender on New Year’s Eve.
