With over 1.3 crore followers on Instagram, Fedor often flaunts his lavish lifestyle. However, this video, which has garnered over 10 lakh views, more than 35,000 likes, and thousands of shares, has seen netizens heavily criticising him.
The comments section erupted with reactions ranging from sarcasm to outright condemnation. Karimov quipped that “Does the dollar burn badly?” while Imran Ansari suggested that Fedor donate his wealth to the needy rather than waste it.
Alondra Mariposa, one of the viewers, expressed a sense of stark contrast of Fedor‘s actions from that of those poor people. “So many people can‘t even afford food, and here you are burning money,” she wrote.

This is not the first time Fedor has been in the spotlight for his lavish lifestyle, but burning money has brought so many viewers to question the ethics and empathy of such a display. Critics say his actions reflect a lack of awareness about global financial struggles and basic human decency.
As the backlash grows, many urge influencers such as Fedor to use their platforms toward positive change instead of indulging in insensitive stunts.
