Don't completely believe what is shown on social media, sometimes life is not as beautiful as what is shown on Instagram Stories. In fact, there are a number of people who claim to be crazy rich when in fact they are just fake crazy riches.
However, no matter how clever a squirrel jumps, it will eventually fall, right? Well, in China, this fake crazy rich guise was dismantled by a man who joined a group that was supposed to contain a lot of 'Bai Fu Mei' (rich and beautiful girls). This is told by TikToker from China, Midiforreal.
The intruder who joined the group containing Bai Fu Mei immediately smelled the oddity when the discussion they were discussing was not about the latest fashion or well-known brands. Rather, it's a talk about how much 'capital' should be spent to rent branded goods.
Starting from Ferrari, Birkin bags, to Gucci stockings are rented on a month basis and then the rental price is divided equally. They can take turns using the item to take pictures.
Including photos in five-star hotels, just rent a room, the girls can immediately take turns taking pictures with their best spots.

TikToker Midiforreal told Bored Panda, Thursday (7/4/2022) the phenomenon of women pretending to be rich has become more frequent because of the importance of social status in today's era.
"I would say this phenomenon is more common in a society that is more judgmental based on people's social status," he said.
He also added that we can't force people to be real on social media, because they have the right to be whatever they want.
However, faking something is a form of 'cheating'. Moreover, the motive of most of these 'Bai Fu Mei Wannabe' is to get a husband from the upper class. Midiforreal advises that we should be honest people, and if we want to be rich we should try to earn it instead of renting and tricking. Agree?
