Singapore — Hotel guests are often aware of the premium placed on room service meals. One video, in particular, has gone viral on social media because two bowls of white rice at the Marina Bay Sands cost over S$18.
Paying S$8 for a cup of white rice at a five-star luxury hotel MBS may seem too much for many, especially since five kilograms of rice could be purchased for the same amount.
For TikToker @richlife1688, however, the price is no problem.
The handle, with over 10,300 followers, would give glimpses of the rich life, its videos often accompanied by Namewee’s song “You Know Who Is My Father”.
Despite the caption “Most expensive bowl of white rice,” the TikToker has often flaunted that he was more than capable of covering the bill.
Whether it’s a paper bag filled with stacks of S$100 bills right out of a bank…
Bills scattered over two beds…
Or stacked neatly on top of each other, the TikToker has remained true to the name of his social media handle.
The TikToker also uploaded a “fan” made of S$100 bills on Friday (Nov 19), the video garnering over 760,000 views.
Flexing one’s wealth is an ongoing trend on social media. For example, “Tell me you’re rich without telling me you’re rich… I’ll go first” is a popular theme on TikTok.
From a private jet at the garage to the hefty price tags of one’s outfit, people online have definitely taken the time to flex. /TISG
