People are often caught off guard when approached for a street interview, but every now and then, someone comes along who seems completely unfazed by the attention and will say something wildly out of the ordinary.
That’s exactly what happened when TikToker Suleyman Dolaev (@suleymandolaev) stopped a woman on the street in Miami to interview her.
Her name was Lilia. She was originally from New York and has been in Miami for a week. When he asked her how much money she spent per month on her lifestyle, she gave him a number that would blow anyone’s mind.
Apparently, she spends $30,000 to $50,000 each month, all because of shopping, rent, and bills. That kind of monthly spending sounds unimaginable for most people, but for Lilia, it was just her normal.
Naturally, the next question was what she does for a living. She responded that she was a princess. Her parents paid all her bills. Her dad is a business owner, and her mom is a dentist.
They are happy to support her lifestyle and love everything she does. In her eyes, there was nothing unusual about it.
She admitted that she wouldn’t date a guy who earned $50,000 a year because that wouldn’t be enough to fund her lifestyle. Her requirement for a guy is to make $100 million per year.
Not even one, five, or 10 million would be enough for her. She also thinks it’s very possible for her to find someone who can provide that.
When asked to give a piece of life advice to people, she responded with a surprisingly simple and universal message: “Believe in yourself, no matter what.”

In the comments section, people had a wide range of reactions. Many TikTok users were shocked by her extravagant spending habits and the sheer scale of her expectations, while others found her confidence oddly admirable. They pointed out that she was just being honest about her wants and needs, even if it sounds out of reach to most.
“My girl is just floating through life on a cloud, and I love that for her,” stated one user.
“She knows her worth and what she wants. She’s not even belittling anyone. She’s just saying her standards. There’s nothing wrong with that,” commented another.
“People hating by saying ‘lights are on, but no one’s home,’ but at least she can afford to have the lights on,” wrote a third.
“I want to hate her, but I can’t. Her parents have taught her to be a princess and never to settle for less. I’m here for it,” added someone else.
Overall, the interview highlighted two very different realities. On one hand, there are people out in the world who can spend tens of thousands of dollars a month without batting an eye, and on the other, there are those who are struggling just to afford basic necessities.
