A short clip of Anna Linde, a young woman from Miami, USA, has exploded across social media after she allegedly hired a private helicopter just to sip water from a melting glacier. The video shows her stepping off a private helicopter beside a snowy mountain and drinking water from the melting ice. She then caps the scene with a line like, 'I wonder how people manage to drink regular water,' which she posts along with the video.
Who is Anna Linde?
Anna Linde is a social media personality who often calls herself 'daddy's little princess.' Her videos show funny, over-the-top scenes, like asking for $1 million for a holiday, flying on private jets, or going on big shopping trips in places like Seoul. In the clips, she plays a silly, made-up character who talks about her 'assistant' and a rich father who is far away and only talks to her through money transfers. The humour is meant as a joke or a fun exaggeration of the 'rich kid' lifestyle, not as a real record of how she actually lives.
What did she actually do?
Anna says she dislikes ordinary mineral or RO-processed water and prefers what she calls the 'purest' water or glacier melt. She then is shown booking or using a private helicopter to fly to a glacier-covered area, where she drinks the ice water straight from the flow. The video has since gone viral online.
Social media reacts
Comment sections in the video are full of sarcasm. Users compare her to a 'Raees-zadi' and mock the idea that drinking from local hydrants is somehow 'beneath' her. One user wrote, 'We even look at the budget for changing RO filters, and here helicopters are flying to quench thirst,' while another asks, 'Is this necessary for showmanship?' The internet is reacting strongly, with many criticizing the display of wealth and environmental insensitivity.
