This high-school teacher mocks rich people who pay hundreds of dollars for designer dog collars and now has 1.5 million TikTok followers
is actually a 30-year-old high-school chemistry teacher from Blackburn in northern England who talked to Insider during a break in the school day.
After appearing on a reality TV show called"The Circle" in 2021, Ali decided to put more effort into his social media accounts, especially TikTok. His laidback style earned him almost 500,000 followers by 2022, but it was only when he started reacting to rich people that the tally soared above the 1 million mark.
"I think we should be more responsible, especially in the current climate. Don't be so tone-deaf. In the cost of living crisis, there are people without any food and then there are people over-indulging." Ali's videos have partly been inspired by his experiences as a teacher and seeing the effects of government spending cuts on students.
