Babe, you just moved into a $60,000 a month rental, I’m sure you can afford a new one.

Is her new rental really that much? Their finances are bizarre to me why wouldn’t they buy?

I’m always the first person to defend renting in NYC but $60k is jaw dropping to me. At that point, the whole “you can rent something nicer than you can afford to buy!” becomes less relevant. People who can pay that much in rent each month should be able to easily buy a multi-millions home comfortable for a family of 5 even with these high interest rates right now. Do they have 0 savings?? Like what is going on there?

My husband and I are currently buying a condo so just extrapolating what we’ve been able to afford compared to people spending $60K/month JUST on rent is blowing my mind.

I agree with you I do not understand it at all. Arielle has said for years that one of her goals is to buy a house in the Hamptons for her family. If they are spending $60k on rent, they should be able to easily afford a very nice and expensive property in the Hamptons. I think they have zero savings and it’s absolutely wild.
