TikTok user Samantha has gone viral with a video showing off her everyday “riches,” and the internet can not get enough. With over 7 million views on her original post, she has managed to spark laughter and agreement across the platform.

Fridge in the garage = rich

In the video, which was also shared on her Instagram handle (@sammye936jc), Samantha walks viewers through her house, pointing out items she jokingly labels as “rich people” things.

“If you got a fridge in the garage, you’re rich,” she says, before adding, “Double points if you got a deep freezer – I ain’t there yet.”

She also highlights her matching bedside tables, a headboard in every bedroom, and even Bath and Body Works soap as markers of her upgraded lifestyle.

“There ain’t nothing wrong with a mattress on the floor. Been there, done that. Not anymore. We’re rich,” she says with pride.

TV on the wall and other luxury signs

In what she calls her “controversial” take, Samantha points out that “a TV hanging on the wall” is a sign of wealth. But she keeps it real by admitting, “I do still have some TVs on some entertainment centers, though.”
