Viral TikTok mocked for ranking friends by how much they earn TikTok: tcruzncA TikTok has been going viral on social media, as Tom Cruz, an investor, posted a list of his friends \u2013 ranked by how much they earn and are willing to spend on holiday. The original video no longer appears on TikTok with a notification saying it is unavailable. However, a tweet by user Karim Alammuri has over 30,000 likes, 1.2 million views and has been retweeted more than 10,000 times. Alammuri captioned the video \u201cwhat in the wealth is this.\u201d On Tom Cruz\u2019s TikTok account, another video is still up with 300,000 views. This video shows a list called \u201cthe Welfare 10\u201d which shows everyone who earns below $100,000 a year. Everyone on the Forbes list earns more than that. The Forbes friends list breaks everyone down on income, how much they\u2019re willing to spend on certain trips, holidays they can take, and whether they\u2019re willing to travel to \u201cthird world countries.\u201d At the bottom of the list, Cruz pointed out \u201cBroke Bobby\u201d who earns $125,000 a year with a $10,000 bonus. The highest earner on the list, Shawn, is projected to earn $5 million in 2021. What in the wealth is this pic.twitter.com\/NTPTKT5CZG \u2014 Karim Alammuri (@Radio_Reem) August 18, 2021 On the \u201cWelfare Ten\u201d list, the incomes range from $92,500 to $25,000 with the maximum spend on a trip is $5000. The questions on the Welfare 10 list were slightly different with options to choose from eating at non-chain restaurants and whether they have points for first class. People took to social media to poke fun at the videos. One person commented, \u201cimagine setting up a class system inside your friend group lmao\u201d while one on TikTok asked, \u201cIs this satire?\u201d to which Tom replied \u201cno\u201d. Another user made a meme out of Bobby when it came to going on a trip: Broke Bobby every time it\u2019s time for a trip pic.twitter.com\/VTUf3xW1DW \u2014 __iTweet__ (@__iTweet__) August 19, 2021 Another Twitter user also found humor in that Bobby was labeled as Broke despite earning more than $100,000. They said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry but if that\u2019s what you call broke for \u201cbroke bobby\u201d then I must be homeless lmao.\u201d With the TikTok now spreading all over the internet, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see this turn into a trend, perhaps with a more tongue-in-cheek approach to ranking your friends by their \u2018wealth\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is Broke Bobby?
