Woman amazes Mzansi with R100K fridge and its features 

A South African millionaire, Chwayita Xwayi, amazed Mzansi when she showed off her R100K fridge. The woman who left her senior position as a senior accountant managed to become a multimillionaire by working for herself.

She shows off her riches on TikTok, where most people ridicule her spending habits. In a recent clip, Xwayi explained to Mzansi why she refused to buy a much cheaper fridge:

“A fridge that costs R1200 does not have WiFi, nor does it cough up ice. You have to scrape the ice from the cheaper fridge. Even the size of my fridge is bigger.”

Xwayi revealed that she bought the fridge for R70K cash during a sale. The lady explained that she’s always on her own lane and does not like comparison. 

In the same week, people were stunned by how easily she was able to swipe R82K for two handbags at a Louis Vuitton store.

SA amazed by millionaire’s spending habits in viral TikTok video 

Social media users shared their thoughts on the woman’s preference for the R100K fridge:

@tumiedaisyruele explained:

“We see certain things as ridiculously expensive to buy or have because they are beyond our income range; therefore, let's stick to what we can afford and celebrate those who achieve things we can only dream of. Those who’ve been saying, ‘I can't or won't buy R100k fridge’, do you have R100K currently?”

@NtsikaNyivana09 found the appliance ridiculous:

“I'll still not buy it. I mean, I do have a mirror and a WiFi connection/internet data. Regarding space, I don't buy a lot of groceries. Imagine paying R100k for only one item, which is a fridge in this case, wow. Cancelling many serious budgets for only a fridge that costs R100k.”
