A woman who married a millionaire when she was 19 years old has opened up about some of the struggles she faces despite her luxurious lifestyle.
Linda Andrade is a 23-year-old Jordian-American woman who lives in Dubai but has two other homes in Las Vegas and California. She met her husband Ricky Andrade when she was 16-year-old and he was working as a dishwasher, but seven years Ricky is a multi-millionaire who was grown successful as a crypto-trader.
In an interview with the New York Post, Linda said: “There’s so much luxury in Dubai, Americans have never seen anything like it before. The norm is Birkin bags, huge diamonds, and driving a Rolls-Royce.”
She lives an extravagant lifestyle and has said in the past she has no shame in “flaunting the gold digger aesthetic” and often encourages women to raise their standards in relationships.
In one TikTok video, Linda said: “What if every woman was a gold digger? Men would be forced to level up because no woman would want him otherwise. We would all my treated like Queens as a standard. Is it just me that thinks this?”

However, Linda has revealed some of the worse things about being a millionaire on her TikTok account @lionlindaa and in one video, Linda spoke out about some of the issues she faces
She said that people tell her “you must be so happy with a rich guy” but she confessed that there are some requirements for the lifestyle she leads.
Linda said that her husband has asked her “not to get fat” while also picking out her clothes and jewelry. She said part of her life as a rich woman is that she “must take care” of herself.
However, Linda has said that these issues are not that big of a deal. In the video caption and comment section, Linda wrote: “Anything for the bag…money can buy my happiness so I’m good.”
In another video, Linda asked her followers if they could “survive being a trophy wife” as she also has to not only deal with jealous friend and family, plus is constantly worried about being robbed.
According to the New York Post, Linda has had her Californian home broken into in the past after a thief discovered where she kept her designer bags by scrolling through her TikTok.
Linda has also said she has to deal with horrible social media comments and women messaging her husband trying to convenience him to leave her. In one TikTok video, Linda said that fans message Rikcy asking to be his “second wife” or his “secret girlfriend.”
Linda said: “When somebody says, ‘Oh, you’re a horrible person,’ I’m like, okay, that’s what you think. I ignore it. But when it’s about my physical appearance, sometimes that gets to me. It’s hard when people are saying you need a nose job or you need to lose weight.”
However, despite any problems that come with her wealth, Linda has said she loves having “financial stability” which means she can be the best version of herself, and that she likes teasing people on social media by pretending to be a “gold digger.”
She said: “When I pretend to use him for his money, that’s the stuff that’s like a joke…our relationship is great.”
