It’s an embarrassment of riches.
Sure, money talks. But it doesn’t always say the right thing — especially when speaking through the oft-tone deaf, not-so down-to-earth mouths of millionaire and billionaire influencers.
Becca Bloom, the moneyed monarch of “RichTok” thanks to her $500,000 designer shopping sprees and lavish trappings, was nearly dethroned by irate internet critics. Virtual whistleblowers recently called for the wealthy Gen Z’s head after she shared an unsolicited sermon on financial fairness between men and women in relationships.
Unfortunately, she’s not the only fortunate gal offering up her two cents to digital audiences who simply don’t want to hear it — at least not from blue bloods in the top 1%.
From dating-while-rich tips to parenting on private planes, loaded divas online, including Bloom, are getting dragged for their out-of-touch hot takes on everyday hot-button issues.
Make men pay
“Here’s what men don’t understand about equality, you think equality is splitting the bill,” ranted Bloom, 27, a fintech expert and the daughter of international IT moguls, lecturing over 6.2 million TikTok viewers.
“Women live in a society where equality has never existed in the first place. Women still only make 80 percent of what a man makes for the same full-time job,” she explained. “So when you ask for a 50/50 date, know that her 50% costs more [of] her income than it does yours.”
Bloom, née Rebecca Ma, of San Francisco, Calif., wed software engineer David Pownall this September, saying “I Do” with splashy nuptials in Lake Cuomo, Italy, for a reported $4 million.
During her controversial “equality” address, which hit social media Nov. 12, the luxe VIP admitted that her husband “pays all the bills” — a responsibility she considers “the bare minimum.”
Bloom also noted that women are forced to spend approximately $400 a month on primping in order to live up to the beauty standards set by guys, and claimed ladies are more likely to experience violence on dates than their male counterparts.
“Men only remember the word equality when it benefits them financially,” she said. “Suddenly [they] want equality when the bill hits the table.”
“Until society becomes statistically equal, [men] cannot cherry-pick equality only in moments where it allows you to contribute less.”
But cyber cynics were too focused on Bloom’s booming bank account to truly appreciate her sentiments.
“I will not be lectured on equality by this billionaire. Not now, not ever,” a commenter crowed.
“Right message, wrong messenger,” another spat.
“She is in the same wealth bracket [as] Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, etc.,” wrote an equally unimpressed onlooker.
Pay to parent
Bayleigh Dayton, a self-crowned “luxury lifestyle” guru and married mom, caught similar heat after revealing that she employs a staff of three nannies to care for her two toddlers.
”We like it, we just can’t afford it,” groaned a fan beneath footage of Dayton’s unfussy parenting style.
“Sorry, that is not showing up, that is other people doing your job and parenting your kids instead of you,” a separate naysayer scolded under the viral vid — which Dayton captioned, in part, “life without nannies is not for me.”
Look your best, never a mess
“You always have to be presentable,” commanded @COHouswife, an influencer content creator, who married into a wealthy family and now shares tips about the habits of the rich.
“At home, you always have on shoes,” she continued, listing the do’s and don’t’s of the upper crest. “There’s just something about classy people and their house shoes.”
But carpers weren’t impressed by the elitist guidelines on how to dress.
“It’s not wealth — it’s rich ‘status.’ The most wealthy people I know certainly do not get ready every day lol, especially on weekends. And they don’t wear shoes inside,” a contrarian spewed.
“So annoying,” another jeered.
Raising kids on the fly
Brianna Owen, wife of comedian and actor Gary Owen, recently regaled mothers with her ultimate parenting hack: flying private.
“If you want to avoid toddler meltdown on a plane, just fly private,” she advised her over 38,000 TikTok fans. “Also, you can’t be late for the flight because the plane waits for you.”
Tragically, the ritzy recommendation didn’t exactly land with budgeted parents, who left stinging comments such as, “Not all of us got knocked up by someone rich.”
Balling from behind
Getting behind the wheel of one’s luxury dream car is so last season, according to Aerely Chacon. Rather than driving herself from point A to point B — like Erewhon for a smoothie, then In-N-Out Burger for a bite — the Miami-based socialite hires a chauffeur to cart her around in a Mercedes Benz.
“I don’t wanna drive. I don’t wanna be a passenger princess either,” says the audio featured in Chaon’s trending post. “I want to be in the back seat.”
Her opulent flex, however, was met by a bunch of hate from anti-chauffeur life trolls.
Silence is golden
Who needs quality time, when you’ve got carte blanche to all of your honey’s money — so says rich housewife Nia Chi.
“What life looks like since I stopped complaining about how much he works,” raved Chi in a clip, dancing on a pool table covered in large shopping bags from Gucci, Christian Louboutin, Prada and Cartier (just to name a few).
“Ideally, I would get his attention 24/7 so he never has time to work and we live in a cardboard box,” she joked. “But I guess this works too.”
Not everyone agreed.
“But you don’t get to see him,” argued a concerned viewer.
“No one needs that much money,” another insisted, followed by a harsh warning from an alarmist, who wrote, “He’s just shutting you right up with them gifts.”
