Social media star Malaikah Raja is totally transparent about the luxuries of living as a housewife in Dubai.

The influencer candidly broke down her "monthly allowance" for her 1 million followers in an explanatory video on TikTok. She began by differentiating between the two types of purchases she makes and their respective budgets: Raja said her "general shopping allowance" is $5,000 per month, while she gets $15,000 for "luxury and designer" buys.

Her voiceover backed a series of clips featuring the creator trying on gold jewelry and showing on a glittery handbag.

"I also have investment properties, which are off-plan, monthly payments, and that equates to around $200,000 per month," the housewife continued in the video, which has over 6.7 million views and over 355,000 likes.

For her personal care, Raja said she gets $1,000 for weekly massages and $500 for manicures and pedicures. "I don't get them done too often," she noted of her monthly nail upkeep. Her general hair and health treatments cost around $8,000 per month, and there is $2,000 set aside for her makeup and skincare needs.

She concluded with her allowance for "food and date nights, which is completely unlimited because my husband wants me to put on weight," said Raja, adding, "And if I don't spend the money from my allowance per month, then it goes into savings account for myself, which is perfect."

Raja — whose Instagram bio states that she's a "trading mentor & educator" — regularly shares looks into her lavish day-to-day routine, which includes caring for her 3-year-old son and her daughter, who was born on Nov. 21. In another video posted this February, Raja walked her followers through how much she "charged" her husband for their second baby.

She went on to list all that he purchased for her in preparation for their little one, including a pink Mercedes G Wagon, a new $2 million home with $1 million worth of renovations and $10,000 to spend "on daily postpartum massages."
