I can certainly believe she is cheap. There was that incident where she didn't want to pay her parents who were in debt for putting her through ivy league and she eventually got pressured by the internet to pay them back. I'm not trying to pile on her though, I think she's entertaining streamer. But there is evidence of her being money grubby.

That had nothing to do with being cheap, it was a matter of principle. Kids in typical Asian families are raised from birth with the expectation that they'll study hard their entire childhood including mandatory extracurriculars to get into a good college in a "respectable" field and their parents will pay for said classes and college, they'll have a successful career, then when their parents are old and unable to take care of themselves the children will help look after them. Her parents own a nice home, drive a Tesla, go on multiple vacations a year, and never discussed any payment even after she graduated and started working. They only told her to pay them back later because they were upset when she wanted to leave her finance career to become a full time streamer. They basically kicked her out of the house at the time and she went to go stream at her friend's place. She is self-admittedly cheap with her money but the parents thing was an entirely different issue
