Mei Leung, a TikTok user, has gained popularity lately by posting details about her "expensive" lifestyle on the app, including her monthly spending total. This viral moment happened after Leung's October 6 TikTok video, describing everything she spent throughout September while living in New York City, went viral.

Viewers were taken aback when she disclosed that she spent approximately $85,452.53 in the whole month, out of which she paid $8,900 for her mortgage, $2,000 for her pilates lessons, and $48,429.53 for partying and fun. As per TikTok, she has over 90k followers, and her page has over 4 million views.

However, as Mei hasn't disclosed her line of work, some have even speculated about her parents' wealth. Fans still believe that she has more sources of income, even though it is reasonable to think she makes money from her social media accounts.

TikToker Mei Leung recently raised a lot of eyebrows when she revealed how much money she spends each month living in New York City, and it went viral. She stated in one of her first videos that she enjoys expensive activities like going to clubs, getting private Pilates classes, and having fun.

Before that, Mei disclosed in another video she posted on October 3 that she and her friends had spent more than $20,000 in one night out in New York City. The cost covered eight packs of water, a pack of Red Bull, a 1942 Magnum, an Ace Rose, and other items.

When additional fees and sales tax were deducted, the total cost for the evening was $21,636. Considering they also had to pay for more tables, the amount increased even further.

Mei Leung then revealed her September spending in another Tiktok video she posted on October 6, which has received over two million views. After adding other expenses such as her car payment, mortgage, club fees, shopping, and more, her total expenditure for September was $85,452.

On October 7, the following day, she also brought her brother in for a video in which he revealed the amount he spent in September. His monthly expenses were still $3007.46 for food, $3,982.91 for travel and transportation, and $6,831.94 for shopping. However, it was less than that of his sister.

Furthermore, on September 9, she uploaded a video in which she claimed that she and her friends had spent $46,241.36 at LIV in Miami in a single night. Now, most commenters were stunned to see the casual way she listed out all those expenses.

Additionally, many viewers were curious about Mei Leung's job and how she makes ends meet after she released multiple videos detailing her nightly expenses and unwrapping high-end purchases.

After the two viral videos from October, Mei astounded her social media followers by discussing her spending habits and sparked speculation about her parents. Several observers asserted that she received her money from her parents, citing fashion designer Vera Wang as her mother.

However, Mei Leung is not the daughter of Vera Wang. As per People Magazine's December 27, 2023 article, Vera Wang and her ex-husband Arthur Becker have two kids, Cecilia and Josephine.


Amid speculations, Mei Leung has not revealed anything about her job or source of income after her viral video.
