Socialite Vera Sidika has found herself at the center of online conversation after revealing the amount anyone would need to part with to spend Valentine’s Day with her.
According to Vera, any individual interested in taking her out on Valentine’s Day would need to pay $15,000 (approximately Sh 1.9 million), a figure she described as compensation for her time and presence.
The statement followed what she said was an influx of messages from men asking to be her Valentine this year.
Vera Sidika shared the information directly with her followers, explaining that her inbox had been flooded with Valentine’s Day proposals.
In response, she decided to publicly set a price for anyone serious about spending the day with her.
“If you want me to be your Valentine, time is money,” she stated, adding that the amount would apply to anyone interested, without exception.
As expected, Vera’s announcement drew divided opinions. Some social media users reacted with humor, joking that the amount could buy land, a luxury car, or fund multiple lavish Valentine’s celebrations.
Others defended her stance, arguing that Vera Sidika has built a personal brand around luxury and exclusivity and therefore has the right to value her time as she sees fiT.
However, critics questioned the message such a price sends, especially during a holiday traditionally associated with emotional connection rather than financial status.
Some argued that the move reinforces materialistic narratives around relationships, while others dismissed it as an attention-seeking stunt.
Vera Sidika is no stranger to controversy or bold declarations. Over the years, she has frequently made headlines for her outspoken views on wealth, relationships, and lifestyle.
The socialite has previously spoken openly about financial independence, maintaining high standards, and refusing to settle for less in both business and personal life.
In past interviews, Vera has emphasized that her public persona is part of a carefully curated brand that thrives on luxury, confidence, and unapologetic self-worth.
