Mei Leung
TikTok’s luxury spending queen exposed? Fans say ‘Mei Leung’ is living a borrowed life
Mei Leung, the TikTok star who skyrocketed to viral fame by sharing aesthetic breakdowns of her monthly spending in New York City—think $4,500 rent, $300 sushi nights, and “spontaneous” Chanel buys—might not be living the luxe life she claims.
According to TikTok sleuths and threads popping off on Reddit, “Mei Leung” is allegedly not even her real name. Users claim her actual name is Mei Zhang, and the lifestyle she flaunts online may be more fantasy than fact.
What’s more? Some followers have accused her of straight-up fraud. She’s allegedly been passing off content and images from her friends as her own—without their permission. One former friend even claimed Mei edited and uploaded photos of their apartment, pretending it was her own, complete with fake captions about interior designers and monthly cleaning bills.
And it doesn’t stop there. Whispers in online communities suggest she’s been involved in selling counterfeit luxury goods through private group chats and secret resale links, pushing knockoff designer items while keeping up the image of a full-time influencer dripping in the real deal.
Despite the growing storm, Mei hasn’t publicly responded to the accusations. Her account is still active, and she’s still uploading her curated expense vlogs like nothing ever happened.
But viewers are now asking: if the bags are fake, the apartment is borrowed, and the name isn’t real… what else is just part of the show?
