What did Boity Thulo say about girlfriend allowance?
In 2021, Boity Thulo conveyed to Mihlali Ndamase that she deemed R450,000 a fair allowance from her partner. During a conversation on Ndamase’s YouTube program, Cocktail Hour, the former Dear Betty star indicated that she puts in significant effort and that any sum below R450,000 monthly would be inadequate.
“Based on my needs and my comfort levels, what I do for myself, I would be really comfortable with R450k. I don’t think that’s a lot. That would make a difference in my life. If you are going to give something, it can’t be a piggy bank vibe. I already work hard,” said Boity.
In a 2023 conversation with L-Tido on his podcast, Boity reaffirmed her stance. She clarified that the figure was not definitive and was simply something she had mentioned offhandedly.
“Oh my gosh! Can we just fix that? If you watch the whole thing with Mihlali, what we were saying was, she asked me, or we asked each other; we were hypothetically speaking, in a perfect world where anything was possible, what would be the best amount? I said R450 000. That’s the figure that came to mind, and that would make sense for my life,” she articulated.
