Anna Bey - School of Affluence

[Chloesm]

Tbf what she "teaches" in her courses is just common sense. They're such a rip off
how can people be so blind and spend a fortune on them? I feel so sorry for these women falling in the trap

The irony is that Anna doesn’t really live the life she tries to portray. That’s why she’s in a dingy, small London apartment and films at hotels, takes photos of herself in front of a private jet...from some trade show, and couldn’t even afford designer until she started selling courses to naive women despite the fact that she supposedly has a “rich” sponsor.

Her London flat was £2000 a month. And at the beggining of the relationship she was getting £3k a month. But now she gets 5. Its a real info from someone who knows her personaly.

She filmed a video with him? What was it about? What did he look like?

He definitely does not give her 5k a month. She claimed in London he gave her GBP 2000 and back then she was barely able to afford even a designer belt. I think her allowance also had to take care of the London flat. So in essence she was the Great Value version of the Russians he couldn't afford. For non Americans, that means the supermarket version - think Sainsburys own brand.

She filmed a video of him and her in Italy and he was answering questions, full face showing. During the video they discussed among other things a Russian supermodel, I forget who. He seems to have a thing for Russians but can't afford an elite one so he got Anna in the bargain bin.

When did they film this video? What did they talk about and what did Anna's fiancé look like?

She used to film and interview him lots. If she wants to maintain her privacy she shouldn’t keep filming and tagging her friends and looking lovingly at another man and plastering another man all over her Instagram. It’s all very distasteful.

I agree, strange behaviour. Did you watch any videos of her and her partner? What did they talk about in videos? What does he look like?

 

[serenawaldorf]

I remember she filmed a video with him asking what men look for in women or something like that. He looks like the picture that was shared earlier, kinda small/ short and scruffy

If you go back in thread there are a few photos of him

Do you remember what he said what men are looking for? Did the description fit Anna?

Someone said that her man would give her 5000k per month.. well she is living in Switzerland and the average wage there ist 6500 CHF, which is 7.100$.. (before taxes) it's not that much in Switzerland. Switzerland is expensive.

Someone sent me a Whatsapp message with a link to a video of Anna Bey in her previous incarnation.

Doing sexual moaning in the credits of an ad for her DJ boyfriend (pimp?) in Malta. Only a few years ago. I feel mean so I am going to post it.

The broken English is the same, as well as the non-Swedish accent. There is even a photo of her looking classless and frankly not elegant at all.


If this is how she sounds in bed I can see her never marrying rich. Men like it when you sound like you are enjoying sex, and she always used to discuss how she hated how much men want it.

Even imagining her in bed makes me feel slightly ill. A student said to me that Anna advised in one of her videos that making noise during sex was not elegant(!).

Very high society setting!
The closest thing resembling to high society that she’s “entered” is the new crowd she’s started hanging out with over the past year.
Before that - all trash and no class!

Anna just goes to show how easy folks are duped. I include myself in that. Closer to home, I bet we all know some useless article at work that management thinks highly of, purely because they market themselves right. Anna's like that. So are all the snakeoil salesmen selling 'how to get rich' courses for $997. They never got rich off following their own advice, but selling it.

But something else that kinda grates about the whole "affluent" discussion is that it can be a touchy subject filled with ego for a lot of folks. Mix it in with 'how to get a man' and get it's even worse. No one likes to feel like a loser, but the reality is... ain't none of us privy to the billionaire lifestyle. No one who bangs on about "the real rich don't..." don't know what the real rich do, no more than anyone else does who isn't rich. It's the blind leading the blind: "The real rich wouldn't do that and I know because I read it in article written by Joey BagOfDougnuts, a junior features writer on 30k a year! And I believe it because it doesn't make me feel so bad "

Take Bill Gates and Zuckerberg. They like to be thrown up as examples because they dress down. Only problem is, they're recognisable, so anyone else dressing down isn't going to be mistaken for a secret millionaire, but another broke loser. I watched those series on Monaco and Marbella, the rich Russians of London, and it looked to me like the rich sure do look rich for the most part: they dress it, drive it, and live in it.

Gates and Zuckerberg may not wear an expensive watch and drive an old car, but at their level of wealth they're not playing that game. These guys play "who's got the biggest private island" or "biggest super yacht" game. Don't kid yourself that they're humble by any means. Like politicians who deliberately wear cheap watches and off the rack clothes in public, but in private wear their Pateks and custom made tailoring.

Folks also love to tell about the time they thought they weren't treated quite as much as the Queen of Sheeba as they thought they should have been in some shop or salesroom, and decamped to somewhere else and bought 'X'... in their flip-flops, cargo shorts and tshirt. Always for cash in these stories, just for good measure, and more importantly, so we know how these dress-down ballers roll.

Most times I read these tales, it sounds to me like they went looking for a problem and found it - and probably just in their head. My mate used to work in luxury retail and said it was more than their job was worth to treat anyone badly, but when you work with commission, you soon get pretty good at sniffing out who's a time waster/window shopper, and who's buying. The golden rule being, if you look broke, then you probably are. And I've never bought that comforting lie that once you are rich, you do everything but actually spend it and indulge yourself in anyway. Like a modern day John Elwes (the inspiration for Scrooge).

My point being, Anna's as much a lifestyle guru as I am, or any of us, for having watched "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" and Downton Abbey, and mix it up with a heady dose of pretension and insecurity. I don't blame her for wanting to get on, I don't hold getting on against her, I just object to her being full of tit.

I don't think there are any billionaires on this thread (someone correct me if I'm wrong!) but Anna isn't even middle class or respectable in any way. If you've ever lived in any of these global financial centers (i.e. New York, London, Hong Kong, etc.), you can spot the fact that she's a gold-digger/escort right away. It's in the way she looks, dresses, presents herself, and no offense, her background. Eastern European women with no higher education, no proper job, spend hours primping and doing plastic surgery/fillers (Aija is no natural beauty), and strategically hang out in expensive bars/restaurants/clubs with overly done makeup and outfits are a dime a dozen in these cities and everyone knows what they are selling. It doesn't take a billionaire's lifestyle to know what's going on here. No successful man would dream of bringing her into his social circle (inviting her to expensive dinners with his clients and their hookers/sugar babies doesn't count) and they don't marry women like this. I'm not judging her for being a hooker, because that's her decision, but I do object to her selling a lifestyle she doesn't have to naive women online. We've all see the type she attracts in her courses from the screenshots some ladies shared above, and let's just say it's filled with women with broken English who don't seem to know better, and I doubt they have that much money to go around and pay for Anna's "advice."

 

[Pambo]

I wouldn't argue with any of that, but any series of "The Real Wives of <wherever>" kinda makes me question just how tasteful a successful man is, and what they would, or would not, marry.

I don't have as much faith in their life choices as you, svdwoodsen.

I get what you’re saying and agree to some extent, but there’s different levels of affluence than simply billionaires, and some of us are higher or lower on that spectrum on this thread, so actually some have made some very insightful comments. So it’s not as simple as nobody, including ourselves, don’t know what the rich want. I think we can all agree that like you said though, Anna has no clue about billionaires, yet it’s girls that are clueless and think that the life she leads is indeed the high life that are buying into her when actually she’s pretty solid middle class.

In regards to dressing down, I don’t think affluent dressing down would be considered the same as average Joe dressing down simply because it’s just jeans and a t shirt. Just because it doesn’t look flashy, it is still made from high quality fabrics etc., so it still looks good (also depends on the day and event, what’s socially acceptable - Zuckerberg works in an industry where suits are outdated).

I’ve noticed over the years as I’ve gained more money the quality of clothing on the high street is atrocious, even for something as simple as a plain top - usually 100% polyester. People middle class or above would probably clock the quality straight away, so in shops it’s not as simple as looking the part, it’s more whether you are actually wearing quality clothing and therefore look like you can afford to buy expensive items. The sales people will know too. You can also get away with not looking as good per se, when you’ve already got an established relationship with your particular assistant in the store.

Russian and Marbella rich tend to be very flashy, very glam, in “seen or be seen” locations so I’m not surprised in TV shows they are reflected that way. The Real Housewives are trashy, and are the kind who have new money and flaunt it like they have something to prove.

Good point...

To be fair a lot of these real housewife types also marry dubiously successful men (I don't watch the show but why do I feel like so many of their husbands are being prosecuted for fraud and such or run supposedly successful businesses with very little info). Also you have to keep in mind that those who sign up for these shows do it to make money and they often try to project an image/wealth that they don't actually have.

I can't speak for real housewives but I am good friends with a producer of one of these rich people reality shows, and he straight up told me that a lot of these rich people...aren't that rich. The houses and cars are rented for the show, the extravagant spending is all planned between the network and stores/clubs/restaurants, and a lot of the designer clothing is borrowed. He straight up told me that the young women who were on the show were doing it to get exposure and land a rich husband, because they aren't rich themselves and don't have the skills to do anything else, and they didn't mind the notoriety/damage to their reputation that the show might bring.

I fully stand by that Aija is totally confused with what’s she’s selling and who she wants to be.
- tries to dress elegantly but comes across as a “jetsetbabe” who are far from elegant, partying in French hotspots just because some celebs hang out there doesn’t impress anyone except gold diggers and doesn’t mean it’s classy. The real affluent people would rather stay in a cabin in the woods than mingle with that crowd. Posting your private partying stories on your business page is not classy, all it’s showing me is “thank you for buying my course I can now finally live like a jetsetbabe thanks to you”. It always comes back to jetsetbabe because that’s all she knows because those type of people do it to SHOW OFF. Ask her where the real affluent hang out on a day to day basis, and let me let you she will not have an answer.

yes she comes across a bit confused
I am pretty sure that real "billionaires" or wealthy people in general don't really like to show off. Or at least old money people tend to keep it really private. Whilst new money and people who became rich thanks to social media and these new platforms, are more keen on showing off and bragging about their possessions.
So herself sharing all her partying moments and social events, acting a bit silly, is clearly a sign that she's not the lady that she wants to be. She doesn't even follow her own rules that she sells to women.

It's fairly easy for people to show a lifestyle on social media that makes them look rich and some influences want to be seen in the places that make them look rich. But the majority of people can go into a designer store, do a few poses and look like they are shopping (you see this alot in London and Paris) There is also cultural differences in that new rich Russians want to show their wealth, Americans like to show their wealth but europeans like to hide it a little, they still have nice things and high end items but they don't put their wealth out there as much. They are plenty of stories people buy from designer labels, pose in the clothes than send them back for return.

That or rented clothing, which she has talked about before

I think she showed she knows much about nothing when she said Pampelonne beach was like the Maldives. I mean it’s beautiful, close enough to Barbados maybe, but Maldives?
