A TikToker documenting the shocking luxuries of his first-ever business-class flight and his stay in an expensive hotel has sparked discussion among viewers about how rich people live, and the way people treat them. 

The TikTok video was posted on July 24 by an influencer and makeup artist called Kylee Fleek.

Fleek told Insider that cosmetics brands Tarte and Sephora had flown him to Sydney, Australia, to watch the Fifa Women's World Cup after previously attending Sydney World Pride, but that this was the first time he had flown in business class.

In the video, which he appeared to be recording from the business class section of the plane, Fleek told viewers that he "came from nothing," and that it felt "crazy" that he was sitting there. 

After expressing shock that he could put his feet up while he was sitting down on the plane, he put the camera close to his face and in a faux-posh accent said, "Excuse me, I would like a glass of Negroni, please." 

Then he began fiddling with the television screen attached to the seat in front of him, and pulled out a small tray next to it. "What the fuck is all of this?" he asked viewers.

Then, he turned the camera back to his face. "I don't belong here. My ancestors are freaking out," he said. "But I love this."

Fleek's excitement didn't end with the flight. 

In another TikTok video posted on the same day that is captioned "more rich people bulls***" and has over 10.8 million views, Fleek filmed what appeared to be hotel room service.

"I literally just ordered tomato soup, and I was like, 'what the fuck is that?'" he said to the camera as he pointed to a bowl containing what appeared to be a small amount of green leaves and chopped-up tomatoes.

"I forget that I'm in a hotel where the rich live, so the soup comes in this," he said mockingly as he picked up a shiny silver jug. "Every time I come on these trips I'm always so fucking confused." 

He also told viewers that he had been given a "damp hot towel" on the plane and that someone had told him he was supposed to use it to wipe his face. "Why do rich people…why would you wipe…" Fleek said in a confused tone.

"It's just a bunch of little shit that I don't get. But I'll get there," he said.
