Responding to her eye-watering display of privilege, Netflix star Ramit said: ‘You bought it because you love it and you can afford it, fantastic!’
He continued: ‘What I love is… I don’t care if your thing is handbags, cashmere sweaters, vacations, whatever. If you can afford it and you understand your numbers and you love it, fantastic. Your rich life is yours.
‘It’s really cool to see that you are super unapologetic and confident about it,’ he added.
Arielle’s confidence divided listeners and fans online, with some praising her honesty while others were turned off by the act.
‘This is insane. A 30K bag while others can’t afford to eat every day,’ complained one.
‘Yuck, but go ahead. “Yay, female empowerment!”‘ another said sarcastically.
‘I want to date a man that doesn’t judge any of spending habits,’ gushed one fan, who clearly approved of Arielle’s antics.
‘Yasss!’ gushed another, while one simply responded with a string of fire emojis.

Arielle also shared some insights into how she and husband Chuck divide their finances.
Hollywood heavyweight Chuck, who created hit sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Young Sheldon and more, is estimated to be worth upwards of $500million.
Arielle also does well for herself thanks to her hit podcast and lucrative endorsement deals with major beauty and wellness brands.
‘We have a unique situation because his wealth is crazy and I do well for myself too,’ she explained.
‘But when we started dating I was in a different position financially,’ she continued.
‘If you can afford it and you understand your numbers and you love it, fantastic. Your rich life is yours,’ Ramit told the star
‘I remember when I moved in I was like, “I still want to contribute even though I’m not really making money right now, so I’m gonna pay the utilities. [Chuck] could not care less, but for me it was a way to feel less of that… I don’t know if it was even really shame at that time, but I just felt like it was something that I needed to do.’
Chuck and Arielle filed for divorce in July, 2022, citing irreconcilable differences.
However, the couple have since patched things up and are now happily back together again.
Papers indicate a pre-nuptial contract was signed prior to the couple walking down the aisle in 2018.

In an essay on The Skinny Confidential, the wellness buff explained how her journey to sobriety ended up being the inspiration for her hit podcast.
‘My first year of sobriety I really focused on staying sober, working a little non-stressful job, working on issues in therapy and building a support network,’ she wrote.
‘My second year of sobriety I decided it was time to get healthy which at the time meant ABS — I just wanted abs. I began doing Kayla Itsines’ BBG program and started an anonymous Instagram account to track my journey and progress, and The Blonde Files was born.’
