Stassie Karanikolaou has caused drama as fans react to her bikini and cash photo. The model, entrepreneur, and BFF to makeup mogul Kylie Jenner updated her Instagram with a figure-flaunting snap recently, stripping down to a plunging two-piece with tons of cash strapped to her body. Flaunting her stunning figure in another racy look, Stassie checked boxes for the swimsuit game, but a mention of a "cost of living crisis" in the comments has gained traction. Stassie, who was otherwise praised by fans, does not appear to have responded to the comment. The Instagram star also gained a high-profile celebrity "like" from SKIMS founder and sister to Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian.

Stassie had used clear tape to stick the cash to herself, also holding some in her hands. The bikini bombshell posed barefoot, sporting her hair tied into a ponytail as she dropped two heart emojis in her caption. Fans seemed very aware that the many wads of cash were $100 bills and that, in total, Stassie was walking around with what could be quite the sum of money.

"We're in the middle of a cost of living crisis just fyi," one user said, gaining over 300 likes. While one fan said that it was "probably just motion picture money," another wrote: "It's a Dolly Parton quote, baby."

Not Her First Bikini Photo

Stassie Karanikolaou definitely delivers on the swimwear front! "Greek girl," she wrote in this July Instagram photo while freeing the nipple in a tight blue bikini. Enjoying a rocky cove setting as she refreshed herself during a sweltering Greece vacation this summer, the brunette highlighted her bombshell body while a little submerged, quickly raking in fan approval.

Right now, Stassie is in the news for the revelation that she's gone under the knife to reverse her BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) surgery. "Eating chicken tenders and french fries … my pain medicine just kicked in so I'm pretty comfortable," she recently wrote on TikTok, adding: "From what I've seen, this a** looks nice, lifted and smaller. I'm so excited to be healed and to feel more comfortable in my skin."

"Be nice in the comments because I'm in pain and I'm just a girl." Stassie has also admitted to undergoing a chest enhancement, something she's been honest and open about.
