Crypto influencer Gavin Mayo learned a very important lesson about flexing on Twitter this week — when it comes to lighters, hentai is better than being a rich douchebag.


On Monday, April 17, Mayo took to Twitter not to (allegedly) mislead investors on his dubious crypto operations, but to churn out even more bizarre hustle porn for his audience of uncritical MrBeast fanboys, flaunting his brand-new four-figure S.T. Dupont lighter.



“I spent $7000 on a lighter today,” he wrote alongside a clip of him flicking the switch, an aggressively gauche pair of white slips ons and matching slacks emerging in the background.  “We are not the same.”


Though Mayo may have exaggerated when it comes to the cost of his newest accessory or paid several-thousand dollars in upcharges – the most expensive lighter listed on the S.T. Dupont website clocks in just shy of $2,000  – he wasn’t wrong in noting the differences between himself and the more than 40 million people who viewed his viral clip.


Unlike Mayo, they have great taste in lighters  … only partly because their selections don’t literally burn thousands of dollars of gas.


“Okay. Mine was $5 and it has a naked girl inside,” @human_clickbait captioned a reply video of their flip-phone-themed lighter.



“Will never be her,” wrote @bamb1ed alongside a snap flexing their Kuromi-themed accessory.


“Yeah well, I spent £15 on this lighter and it’s non-targetable by card effects so who’s really winning,” replied @GustavYaBoi with an image of their Yu-Gh-Oh! lighter.




Hey, it’s okay, Mayo can always show them with his next purchase … which as @lizzysbae put it, is hopefully the $2 pair of nail clippers he so desperately needs.
