A man’s post about staying at the JW Marriott Masai Mara, one of Kenya’s most expensive resorts, with his wife has gone viral on social media . Scores of comments flooded the X post, with many asking various questions. Amidst those, a person’s comment didn’t sit well with the original poster, Anirban Chowdhury, who reacted with an X post titled, “It's time for some myth-busting.
” “Unable to wrap my head around the kind of wealth people have. I think I'm fairly rich and I am, by any reasonable standard. So I was like, ‘Let's check this place out’ and it costs 3.
5 lakhs for ONE NIGHT. Almost 10 lakhs for a 3 day stay. What kind of money do folks earn?” Chowdhury reshared the comment with an explanation.
He wrote that the tariff is 5.5L INR with taxes, adding that he “offset that cost by using 424,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.” Also Read: Indian couple stays at ultra-luxury Masai Mara resort with ₹ 5.
5 lakh per night rooms. Internet baffled “I’m not a multimillionaire. I’m a salaried employee, and I pay my taxes (auto-deducted!).
I travel a lot for work, which helps me earn even more points,” he wrote in his post. “If you really want to learn how to earn more points instead of sitting behind a screen and contemplating, you’ll find a lot of good folks who’ve tried to make you understand the process. Do follow them and learn,” he added as he concluded his post.
