Karina Irby ‘accidently’ buys investment property on Gold Coast

A young Australian has been branded ‘tone deaf’ by Australians after admitting she ‘accidentally’ bought an investment property.

Karina Irby, an OnlyFans star and owner of swimwear brand Moana Bikini, celebrated the news with her thousands of Instagram followers on Wednesday – but one of her fans was quick to point out that it’s “not legally possible” to accidentally buy a house.

“I may have accidentally bought an investment property,” the 33-year-old Gold Coast influencer giggled in the video.

“And I can literally see it from my bed. Oh, my god… Do you see that?

“I just bought it… God, now I have two mortgages. Am I the worst at growing up?

‘If it had been a huge risk, I’m sure my accountant would have said don’t buy it. I don’t even remember what the repayments were.’

However, not everyone was happy for Ms Irby, with many decrying the video as ill-timed and inappropriate amid a deepening cost-of-living crisis.

“Imagine being so rich that you ‘accidentally’ buy an investment property?” said one.

“Most people are struggling and can barely afford rent, gas and food,” one person wrote. “Not a very tasteful video in this day and age, Karina.”

“Please don’t make videos like this when people are struggling to keep a roof over their heads and feed their children,” a second agreed.

A third shared: ‘Well done Karina. Although this still feels insanely tone-deaf.

‘You obviously work hard for your money, but between the new gigantic car you could just buy your friend as a surprise and ‘accidentally’ invest in a second house, I don’t know…

“I’ve always been your most ardent supporter, but it feels like there comes a point where some situational awareness might be warranted.”

“Damn, yesterday I accidentally bought a smoothie knowing I’d never be able to buy a house,” a fourth joked.

A follower who described himself as a “fellow investor” said it was “completely false to pretend that you didn’t make this purchase with a lot of deliberation.”

“It is not legally possible,” they added.

In a Q&A on her Instagram page last June, Ms. Irby revealed that she has 3,135 subscribers to OnlyFans, putting her in the top 0.55 percent of creators.

With a subscription fee of $20 per month, this means she earns a whopping $62,700 per month or $752,400 per year.

Ms Irby responded to the criticism in the comments, arguing that she was “far from rich” and that the purchase was the result of thirteen years of hard work.

“To anyone who is offended and making assumptions about my personal life, let me help. I am far from rich. I was NEVER well off. Especially now,” she said.

I’m sorry if this video upsets you or anyone else. But this is my life that I choose and have chosen to post about publicly for the past 13 years. The good and bad times.

“I’m not holding you hostage here, you can unfollow my travels in an instant. Money doesn’t grow on trees, and I’m very grateful to have this opportunity. But it didn’t come without hard work, tears and sacrifices.

‘I never came from money, I was bought up to work for what you want. This is over 13 years of that mentality, dedication and pure passion. So forgive me for celebrating my own achievements.

“I’d be happy for you.”
