A New York City housewife has opened up about the realities of being married to a wealthy man who can fly her on a private jet but is never home.
Izzy Anaya, 43, is known as the ‘Average Rich Housewife’ on TikTok, where she dishes about her ritzy life in Manhattan with her ‘sugar daddy’ husband — whom she doesn’t name — and their two young sons.
The stay-at-mom went viral this month after she shared a video explaining why you can’t live a life of luxury funded by your spouse and expect him to also help run the household.
‘People are like, “Help me find a wealthy man. Help me find a wealthy husband.” But I don’t think you fully understand what comes with marrying someone that is career driven,’ she told the camera.

Anaya said that she does everything alone, including raising their kids and running multiple households
‘I am not going to lie. Having no budget and running around in Lululemon and having lunch is fun. However, be prepared to raise your kids on your own because your husband is not coming home at 5 o’clock.’
Anaya shared that she was privileged enough to be filming the video at her country house, but her husband wasn’t with her.
‘He had reports to get in for Monday and couldn’t come. He’s gonna meet us on Sunday,’ she said, noting that this is a typical occurrence in their marriage.
‘I go to couples dinners, school events, charity [fundraisers], everything, alone,’ she explained. ‘You cannot have honey home at 5 o’clock helping you raise the kids and fly around on a private plane. Like you have to pick one or the other.’
Anaya stressed that it takes more than good looks to bag a rich man because taking care of multiple households is a job in itself.
‘You don’t just have to look like a Barbie for one of these men to marry you. You have to be highly, highly competent,’ she said.
‘If you are not a highly competent woman that can keep calendar reminders, run a few households, [and] keep your kids in order with zero help sometimes, it’s not going to work for you.
The mother are two said that there are days she doesn’t even see her husband and weeks where they only communicate via email

The mother of two insisted that anyone who enters one of these marriages expecting a ‘partner’ will end up disappointed.
‘You’re gonna be unhappy. You’re gonna end up divorced. You’re gonna complain that he’s never around. You have to be highly independent and highly competent in order to thrive in this lifestyle,’ she said.
‘There are days where I don’t see him, and there are weeks where we only communicate via email because he doesn’t have time to get on another phone call —nor do I. I have two kids to raise and three households to run.’
Anaya added that her sugar daddy knows he wouldn’t be able to run his company if it wasn’t for her taking care of their children and homes.
‘He is well aware of how much I bring to the table as well, and it might not be on a paycheck level, but without me, his paycheck wouldn’t be the level it is,’ she concluded. ‘I know you guys want the lifestyle, but are you ready for what comes with it? Think about it.’
The housewife doubled down on her warning in the caption, writing, “Its a great lifestyle but everything comes with its price… What are you willing to give up or give in to get it? Maybe it’s NOT FOR YOU!
The mom elaborated on why she doesn’t have a nanny in a follow-up video, asking, ‘When did raising your own kids become demeaning or beneath you?’
Anaya explained that she worked hard to have her children and was baffled that people expect her to hire someone else to raise them just because she is wealthy
‘Nobody’s going to raise my kids like me. Just because you can afford it, doesn’t mean you have to pawn the kids off on somebody else,’ she said
‘Whatever you decide, understand you can’t be mad when [you’re] swiping away BUT your partner isn’t around… don’t roll up 10 years later looking for a divorce because you had no “partner.” Understand what you are signing up for.’
Anaya’s video has been viewed 1.1 million times since it was posted on February 4, and it has received more than 3,500 comments.
Some viewers were thrilled with the idea of being rich and hardly seeing their husbands, saying, ‘Sign me up.’
Others questioned why she didn’t hire a housekeeper and a nanny.
‘I don’t like full-time help,’ Anaya responded. ‘I don’t like people in my home.’
The content creator further elaborated on why she has chosen to do without a nanny in a follow-up video, asking, ‘When did raising your own kids become demeaning or beneath you?’
Anaya explained that she worked hard to have her children and was baffled that people expect her to hire someone else to raise them just because she is wealthy.
Anaya noted in other videos that she married her husband before he amassed his wealth and does not have a prenuptial agreement
A number of commenters assumed her husband was cheating on her, but she pointed out that many wives in her situation have their own affairs
Anaya joked that if she ever found out her husband had a mistress, they would ‘be eating at Taco Bell’ and ‘flying Spirit’ instead of a private jet when she was done with him
‘Nobody’s going to raise my kids like me. Just because you can afford it, doesn’t mean you have to pawn the kids off on somebody else,’ she said. ‘Why have them if you’re not going to enjoy them?’
Other commenters assumed her husband was cheating on her, but she pointed out that many wives in her situation have their own affairs because of all the free time they have on their hands.
‘Didn’t you ever hear about the pool boy?’ she asked in another video.
Anaya, who married her husband before he amassed his wealth and does not have a prenuptial agreement, made it clear that she is not worried about infidelity in her marriage.
She joked that if she ever found out her husband had a mistress, they would ‘be eating at Taco Bell’ and ‘flying Spirit’ instead of a private jet when she was done with him.
Anaya later addressed why she would stay married to a man who is never around, saying she likes being independent and the ‘CEO’ of her own life.
‘I also happen to love, like, and respect my sugar daddy,’ she explained. ‘At the end of the day, I like him as a person. I like hanging out with him. I like his values. He is the top of the food chain for me.’
