Screenshots from The Barrys' viral TikTok video.
More than 20 million people watched the video tour of Sam's mom's "average" home.
  • A TikTok couple posted a video showing the "average" home one of them grew up in
  • It featured a winding staircase, bar, and aquarium.
  • Thousands of comments debated the value of the home, and how wealth disparities affect perception.

The internet was treated to a stark reminder that perceptions of wealth are relative in the form of a mega-viral house tour.

On December 31, the couple behind a TikTok account called The BlackBarrys posted a video titled "Growing up rich vs growing up poor." To kick off the clip, the man asked his fiancée Sam to repeat what she'd said to him.

"That I just want to look for an average home like my mom's," she said.
