Battle of the Socialites: New York Vs Nairobi
A large number of you were outraged by the amount of cash that Vera spent on her hair (150,000) and shoes (about 304,000) that amounts to about 454,000 Kenyan shillings which is approximately 5,172 dollars, that is assuming she was actually honest about it.
Well, the price pales in comparison to the copious amount of money socialites in New York spend.
According to the Business Insider and The New York Times, you will spend a bucket load of money to make it to the ‘top shelf’

An experienced socialite will spend around $455,450 on social events, $7,500 on makeup and styling, $18,000 on a personal trainer, and $5,700 yearly for Botox and glycolic peels. This totals to 486,650 dollars which is about 42,338,550 Kshs!
A ‘lower-end’ socialite will spend about $98,645 (8,582,115) annually, but such socialites are often frowned upon and are laughed at behind their backs.
Vera may not spend that wild amount of money on being a socialite but among all Kenyan socialites she stands out for being at least close to the old definition of being a socialite.
