Check the pictures for the full article. Here's the Google translation:
You can't really talk about a tuber, because in addition to the Finnish channels, she runs an online fee-paying school that teaches the skills of an elegant woman.
The name in English is finishing school, and it is difficult to translate. The dictionary gives an explanation: a private school for girls, where rich or upper class girls are taught social life skills. Anna herself has studied international etiquette at such a school in Switzerland.
He is best known for his popular Youtube videos on: How to look elegant at home, where to meet quality men? A feminine body language that expresses self-confidence and makes you irresistible. Secrets of rich people, sex etiquette of an elegant woman and how to walk elegantly at high heels.
The channel has over one million subscribers and a total of over 100 million views on all of the channel's videos.
Etiquette and manners are a key part of Anna Bey’s elegance.
Now Anna is sharing her knowledge in her courses and is currently focusing specifically on elegance and femininity.
- Thousands of women around the world have attended my school's courses. There are also Finnish women among them, Anna Bey tells Iltalehti.
However, few people know anything about Anna's own Finnish background. Finnish Aija. Anna Bey's father is Finnish, and as a child Anna lived in Finland, was a Finnish citizen and spoke Finnish. The name was quite Finnish: Aija Räty. The parents divorced, and Anna moved to Sweden with her Estonian-Russian mother when she was four years old. The family moved to Järfälla, a suburb of Stockholm. Today, Anna no longer speaks Finnish, and Finnish citizenship has changed to Swedish citizenship (dual citizenship was not possible at the time). However, Anna has not lived in Sweden for years. And the name has changed.
- I have lived abroad for a long time, and no one could ever say my name - surely many Finns identify with this. That’s when I decided to use my second name, Annan. I still visit Finland from time to time, although I have nothing to do with my father.
Previously, Anna Bey focused on jetset life, now the focus is mainly on elegance, manners and femininity.
Anna will answer the interview questions in a video call from Switzerland. He has ended up there through many countries: at the age of 19 he moved from Sweden to Italy, where he studied. The Jetset life also began at that time, led by an originally rich Italian man and romance.
Next up was Ibiza, where Anna worked as a nightclub dancer. He says he has been celebrating with, among others, millionaire heiress Paris Hilton.
After Ibiza, Anna lived in Malta, where she worked in marketing for an online betting company. After that, the journey continued to London. In London, Anna also met her husband. The couple married during the pandemic and live in Geneva, Switzerland, where the man is working.
Opportunity to get rich
Recently, Anna’s YouTube channel reached a million subscribers.
- It's a great achievement. I couldn’t have guessed before that so many women would be interested in what I teach. When I started tubetting, hardly anyone talked about these topics: femininity, elegance, and the pursuit of wealth.
- "I celebrate a million subscribers with champagne, of course."
Reasons for its popularity Give the list more. First, the opportunity to get rich - or get rich, as Anna herself says - is achievable in a completely different way than before. In the past, you had to be born into a rich family or be lucky, but now you can do a lot yourself, he reminds.
Anna Bey thinks today it is easier than ever to rise from the upper class to the elite.
The most popular instructional video ever from Anna is a video of over six million viewers in which she tells what an elegant woman doesn’t dress up. The list includes, for example, a t-shirt and denim shorts.
Contrary to the mainstream
The second reason for her popularity is Anna raising her out-of-mainstream message. In particular, this brings him followers from the Nordic countries, he says:
- Current mainstream feminism does not appeal to all women. I am a feminist and have always been, but I represent a different trend. For example, being able to emphasize that she is a feminine woman.
- "I am a feminist and have always been, but I represent a different trend."
There is also a trend in Anna that it would be good for a man to cover most of the costs. This is what challenges the ideology of feminism in the Nordic countries in particular.
- We live in the patriarchal, that is, in the world of men. It is not equal for women to pay half, as we have more costs: costs related to appearance, hygiene and, for example, pregnancy. I don’t mean women shouldn’t go to work, but it’s good if a man takes more responsibility for living. From an evolutionary perspective, however, a man is a hunter, a woman a collector - and that’s not a bad thing at all.
Where to find a rich man?
In her videos, Anna has talked a lot about finding a rich man: listing places and ways to find one. This is the second of two ways to get rich if you have not been born into a wealthy family. Another way is to raise money yourself.
- I support both ways. This is also culturally dependent, as it is very common for some to get rich with a man. I have been called a gold digger because of my school. Many men also want to improve their lives and find, for example, higher quality women, but no one then calls them by that name.
- "I have been called a fortune teller."
In addition to wealth, Anna has recently focused specifically on elegance.
- Elegance and prosperity are two different things. There are also a lot of things that cost nothing about elegance: good manners, kindness and self-esteem.
Anna Bey started making YouTube videos three years ago. The title of the oldest video to watch is: Should Men Pay for Everything in a Relationship? Anna's position is clear: yes it should.
Botox, of course
An important part of Anna’s teachings is paying attention to appearance. In her videos, Anna’s advice on appearance and dress goes hand in hand with classic Western beauty ideals. Anna has also talked about her own transformation, which included a new style, weight loss and various measures.
- Hair extensions because my hair is very thin. Then nose surgery, which I am very happy with. It's the only surgery I've done. And then, of course, botox, as we all get older.
Nowadays, body positivity has become more and more popular, and it is precisely the acceptance of bodies as they are. Not everyone needs to fit in a tight mold. Anna says she is happy about it, even though she says that beauty ideals have a reason.
- Elegance and beauty come in all forms. I used to be very angry about these appearance standards that women face. But then I got to know it and learned that this has to do with evolution and what men usually want.
- "I learned that this has to do with evolution and what men usually want."
- For example, a long-haired woman in good condition symbolizes good health and fertility. However, I never tell the women in my school that they should look just certain. I think it’s largely a matter of self-confidence and self-acceptance.
That's the main advice
- "Now let yourself live in many ways the kind of life that the women in your school are taught to strive for."
- I have managed to change my lifestyle completely and achieved a lot, but I am not very interested in the material. Maybe it’s because of my Nordic roots that I don’t need a private car or a Rolls-Royce, but I have enough comfort and safety. I hope to find a better work-life balance in the future.
According to Anna, mental well-being is paramount. Anna says she won’t regret anything in her life, but if she could decide again, she would go to therapy earlier.
- I wish I had started it when I was 20 years old. Think about it, I would have had good self-esteem when I was young! Mental well-being is so important.
If you could give just one piece of advice to all women, what would it be?
- Set boundaries. Put them on yourself, put them on men. And work on your own uncertainties. This should be the basic thing, but there is still not enough talk about it. It is difficult for an insecure woman to set boundaries and be elegant or prosperous.
