American rapper and model Rubi Rose has recently stirred discussions about financial expectations in relationships. During a livestream with popular streamer Adin Ross, Rose candidly shared that she would only consider dating a man who earns at least $5 million per year. Her comments have gone viral lately and have sparked conversations about money, dating preferences, and what life is like as an influencer.
Rubi Rose defended her stance by drawing parallels between beauty standards and financial expectations. She said,
“A potential date should be rich, at least as much money as I have. He should make at least $5 million per annum."
“Men won’t date ugly girls, so I don’t want to date a broke guy. My man should make at least $5 million yearly. And I don’t want a man that is into illegal dealings," she added.
Rubi Rose’s dating criteria and financial revelations spark debate
According to Rubi Rose, a potential partner should have a financial standing comparable to hers, emphasizing that stability and success are key factors in her dating criteria. She also clarified that she definitely does not want to be with anyone who makes money through illegal means.
Beyond talking about her standards for dating, Rose also shared details about her personal financial situation. She revealed that her employee payroll alone costs her $100,000 per month, contributing to total expenses of approximately $220,000 monthly. During the conversation, Ross also shared his spending habits, which surprised Rose. It is estimated that Ross spends some five and a half million bucks each year, while Rose spends a bit more than $3 million.
The discoveries sparked very mixed reactions on social media channels. Some users criticized Rose’s statements, arguing that financial demands in relationships should not be so rigid, while others defended her perspective, noting that personal preferences vary. However, others just stick up for how Rose thinks.
"She tryna trap our men, what happened to shame," an X user commented on Rose's dating standards.
"She make money tho she allowed to say that," another user wrote.
"If y'all broke just say so, no need to attack her, a girl can have standards," a fan commented.
"The double standard is krazy. A rich man would never say a woman has to make what he makes or at least 5 million a year to be with them. Nasty work," an X user wrote.
Rubi Rose, born on October 2, 1997, in Lexington, Kentucky, first gained recognition when she appeared in the music video for Migos' hit single "Bad and Boujee." She then branched out into music and released her first song in 2018, remixing a track by Playboi Carti called "On Top".
