Vera Sidika asks for Ksh1.9M to be someone’s valentine.
Socialite Vera Sidika has sparked widespread buzz after announcing she is open to being someone's Valentine—but only for a steep price of $15,000 (approximately KSh 1.9 million).
In a video shared across her Instagram and Facebook pages on Monday, February 9, 2026, Vera explained that her inbox has been overwhelmed with messages from men asking her to be their Valentine as the holiday approaches. Fresh from a recent trip to the United States, she decided to turn the flood of requests into an opportunity, stating that her time comes at a premium and must be made "worth it."
Vera laid out the terms clearly: the winning suitor would pay the $15,000 fee in exchange for her company on a lunch date on Valentine's Day. She playfully framed it as a competition, declaring, “Got hundreds of men in my DMs asking me to be their Valentine. So may the best one win.” In the clip, she added, “If you want me to be your Valentine, time is money, so fifteen thousand dollars for whoever wants me to be their Valentine... let’s see. And may the best guy win.” The socialite emphasized that she remains undecided on a date and is treating the offers as a serious bid for her attention amid the Valentine's hype.
The bold announcement has ignited reactions online, with many netizens expressing shock, amusement, and debate over the commercialization of companionship on a day traditionally associated with romance. As a well-known figure famous for her lavish lifestyle and unapologetic social media presence, Vera's move aligns with her history of turning personal moments into public spectacles. With Valentine's Day just a week away, the post has only intensified the attention in her DMs, turning her Valentine's plans into one of the most talked-about stories in Kenyan entertainment circles right now.
