Jamie Chua, an "Insta famous" socialite from Singapore, features in the premiere episode of what will perhaps your new guilty (and jealousy-inducing) Facebook Watch pleasure — a series called "Bonkers Closers" courtesy of INSIDER. Chua's closet is, indeed, bonkers.
Clocking in at a solid 700 square feet (yes, that's bigger than your whole bedroom by a long shot — perhaps even your whole apartment), Chua's closet also comes with a FINGERPRINT LOCK to gain access. In other words, she's not sharing her designer tees with you, or anyone, OK?
Chua explains she designed the space "with the idea that... my clothes [would] be framed up." There's a "filing cabinet system" used to keep things organized — at least to some degree; while her clothes appear to be categorized by type across ten pull-out wardrobes there's also boxes stuffed above the rails, and clothing racks and rails visible in other spots, and more clothes basically everywhere there's space. "Although it's still not enough for me, I need more closet space," she says laughing. Hahaha!
There's also shelving for Chua's 300+ pairs of designer shoes ("with an average cost of $1500 per pair," apparently), and her 200+ Hermes bags. Chua says her #1 piece is a white gold Himalayan crocodile Birkin studded with 245 diamonds — no price point is provided for this bag, which probably says it all:
My favorite, though? The $11,800 "mini pochette" she describes as "useless," with a giggle. "You can't put anything in them... maybe, like, a credit card and a piece of tissue?" Literally, she spent $11,000 on an item she acknowledges is useless.
Oh, and there's also the requisite diamond-filled jewelry box chest of drawers.
When asked, "are you one of the best-dressed women in Singapore?" Chua responds diplomatically: "That's not a question I should answer," she demurs. "Self praise is no praise." In a similar vein, "Bonkers Closets" demurs on the specifics behind the mad $$$ needed to fund Chua's wardrobe — she's described as an "entrepreneur" with a skin care line to her name. But as The Outline notes, Chua reportedly receives over $300,000 a month in alimony from her billionaire ex-husband (or at least petitioned for that amount before settling out of court). At one point in the video, Chua pulls out a bridal-style white gown and notes "I don't really the idea of being married."
As of Monday morning, Chua's "Bonkers Closet" episode has been watched 50 million times. Watch it below:
And then fall back into her Insta feed, because it's also a trip — and that's just considering the pool floats.
