The Cuban influencer, known as La Cintumbare, has once again sparked conversations on social media after posting an Instagram story video showing how much she pays her housekeeper each week. In the clip, she can be heard saying, "Here's what I pay my worker for a week," while holding several bundles of Cuban bills—mostly 20 and 50 peso notes—which she then places on her employee's lap.
The video reveals a substantial amount of cash in the local currency, which appears to exceed 4,000 pesos—a sum higher than many government salaries on the island. While La Cintumbare did not specify the exact amount, the image itself suggests a remarkably high weekly payment, especially considering many people earn that much or less in a month in Cuba.
Some might view this as flaunting her financial power, whereas others could interpret it as an act of economic fairness towards those employed in domestic services, a sector known for being underpaid and often overlooked.
