April 2024 · 8 minute read

A 'professional stay-at-home daughter' has become a viral TikTok star after sharing a glimpse into her lavish lifestyle - which involves spending more than $50,000 a day (of her parents' money) on things like blowouts, designer clothes, Pilates classes, and Botox.

Roma Abdesselam, 26, from New York, often flaunts her luxurious life on TikTok, where she has racked up hundreds of thousands of followers, who are often left stunned by her steep spending habits.

Roma - who hasn't worked in more than two years - forks out thousands of dollars a day on luxury goods from brands like Gucci, Dior, Chanel, and Prada, all of which she puts on her mom and dad's credit cards.

Roma's days usually involve sleeping past noon, going on shopping sprees, getting her hair done, working out, receiving massages, and dining at expensive NYC eateries - which she often documents and shares to her 629,000 TikTok followers.

'I’ve turned spending [my parents’] money as a stay-at-home daughter into a job, and that’s been very, very fun for me,' she told the New York Post recently.

'Every day I wake up in the morning, have breakfast, go to a [$600] workout class and go shopping with my girlfriends at Bergdorf’s, and that’s my life being unemployed.'

Roma, who hasn't disclosed what her parents do for work, told the outlet that she was planning to launch her own skincare line before the pandemic hit, but put it on hold amid COVID-19. However, she is now making an income by sharing sponsored posts and advertisements to her social media accounts and wants to focus on growing her online presence. 

In one viral video, Roma showed what a 'day in the life of a professional stay-at-home daughter' is really like, beginning with a trip to the beauty salon, which cost her $600.

In the video, the 26-year-old explained that she used to have 'big bushy' eyebrows but she 'over-tweezed them,' so she had to get them fixed.

She then went to a bar before going shopping because 'the best way to shop is obviously drunk,' she said. 

Roma spent $1,353 on various perfumes and skincare products from Cos Bar before heading to Zimmerman where she dropped $2,221. She then bought some lingerie from Agent Provocateur for $2,774 and spent another $2,264 at Intermix. 

She finished her day with an $100 private Pilates session, bringing her total to $9,326 for the day - which was low for her.

'Some days I spend $50,000,' she admitted to the Post. 'I often get tricked by sales associates who’ll say something like, "Oh, this is the last Chanel Exotic [leather bag]." And I’m like, "Oh my god, I have to all these Exotics. I need them."'

She estimates that she spends around $300,000 a year on clothes, and that her entire closet is now worth $1.9 million. 

'I go shopping around four times a week ... I usually only wear an outfit once or twice before I get rid of it. I don’t like having too much clutter so I will donate them,' she revealed to Fabulous recently.

'If I have taken a picture in an outfit and it doesn’t have that new feel, I go off it.'

In another TikTok, Roma explained that she started her day at 2 P.M. She said she felt like 'having a relaxing day' so she threw on her most 'comfortable outfit,' which involved a plaid miniskirt, a tank top, black tights, and a pair of heels. 

She got Botox before heading to Dior where she bought two purses that were almost identical because she couldn't pick between them.

'As my life coach Jay-Z says, if you can't buy it twice, then you can't afford it. So obviously I bought them both,' she joked in the video.

While speaking to Fabulous, she admitted that she could never picture herself working a 9-5 job.

'Taking care of yourself as a woman is a job in itself,' she explained. 'I have no idea how women have 9-5 jobs and then manage to get any procedures done, that for me is a 9-5.'

She told the outlet that she hates 'doing anything that’s an inconvenience,' so she said she often pays people to do things for her - including washing and brushing her own hair.

Roma said she can never see herself getting a 9-5 job because 'taking care of yourself is a job in itself'

'I hate washing my hair myself - it’s a lot of work so I pay someone else to do it several times a week along with a blow dry,' she said.

'I hate doing anything that’s an inconvenience, I don't know how to wash my hair so someone can do it for me.'

Roma admitted to Fabulous that her parents recently gave her an 'allowance' in an attempt to limit her massive spending. 

'I never used to have an allowance but eventually my parents put one in place because I was spending around $150,000 a month,' she said.

'I had my credit card taken away from me. My family do push me to get a job and they also push me to get married because they don’t want me to rely on them financially, I’m kind of like a leech.'

She wants people to know that she also tries to give back to those less fortunate than her by donating money to various charities.

'I’m very passionate about a school in Israel that teaches Palestinian and Israeli kids Arabic and Hebrew together,' she explained to the Post. 'I also do charity work with a school in Jamaica.'

And while many people on the internet are enthralled by Roma's glamorous life, she has garnered a lot of hate from people who judge her for not getting a job.

However, she said her family is pushing her to find work because 'they don’t want her to rely on them financially' anymore, adding, 'I’m kind of like a leech'

'I don’t really care what you think. At the end of the day, the [haters] are just very insecure, and would never say anything to my face,' she told the Post.

She added to Fabulous, 'I love my trolls. If you start defending yourself it’s nowhere near as funny as if you start poking them.

'I talk to my haters and usually they’ll apologize because they never think I will respond.

'Sometimes they do really irk me, especially when they target my friends or family, say what you want about me but leave them out of it.

'But when they’re telling me how ugly I am I just have to laugh because their comments are so ridiculous.'

She also insisted that her videos are not meant to be taken so seriously, adding that she uses her 'self-deprecating, satirical' sense of humor in them.
