After sharing her frustrating experience searching for a rental home in Miami, Cuban tiktoker @la_yami_87 received hundreds of supportive comments but also faced criticism for complaining about the high prices and stringent rental requirements, with some alleging that "Miami is not for the poor." In response to these messages, Yami didn't hold back and sarcastically referred to these individuals as "millionaires."
"I am stunned by the number of millionaires in Miami. It's no longer filled with show-offs; it's filled with millionaires. Full of prosperous people making 5 or 6 thousand dollars a week. I made a post and it's inconceivable," commented the tiktoker, surprised by the number of messages she received from people pretending to be wealthy.
Questioning the Authenticity of Miami's Wealth
However, the Cuban also criticized the attitude of these so-called "millionaires," insinuating that many of those who commented on her post live by pretending to have an expensive lifestyle. "You can't share a thought without these 'millionaires' showing up, who live paycheck to paycheck and probably live in a studio apartment while driving the latest car, stressed out all month hoping the tow truck doesn't take it away," she argued.
She also questioned the authenticity of the wealth of these individuals, suggesting that a truly wealthy person wouldn't waste time commenting on TikTok posts. "If you are truly wealthy, you wouldn't be wasting time on a TikTok post. And you come to tell me that Miami is not for the poor," she concluded.
Many users agreed with her in the comments, leaving messages such as: "My neighbor has a BMW 740 and lives in a studio," "They drive Uber in Mercedes Benz," "Girl, don't stress because in Miami people live by appearances," "Remember, on social media, everyone is a millionaire," or "and if they go to Cuba, they claim to own the factory where they work."
