Comment where I should go next! ✈
FIJI !!!
Northland!
Go to Hamilton and interview the people
Christchurch, lol. Up on the hills.
Wellington coolest little capital
The woman who invited you in to her home is my mum. She could have talked a lot longer about her achievements, she’s such a hard worker and has accomplished a lot in her life. She’s also a great mother and I look up to her a lot.
Can u invite me poor dude from south auckland for a bbq 😂😂 been here never been to any other rich or other nationality house ever haha too shy to go to other peoples house and if i got a chance im standing outside haha
How cool😇
Wow she seems like a beautiful person, you’re so blessed
Is the mask in the movie room a real movie prop from bad taste?
Imagine her looking through the comments and seeing her daughter said this 🥹 CUTE
I lived downstairs from that lady in 2012 when they started building their house.
Good people and the area is down to earth for the amount of wealth, tbh.
NZders are pretty down to earth. Don’t matter who they are, they’re easy going. Glad we got to come along 😊
“Nzders” yeh? R u alright mate kiwis brutha not nzders
As a kiwi, I am on edge, but will always offer help with directions.
That's what they tell themselves
@@SAMURAI-ty9bc m8 i aint that deep
this is a false statement
As a kiwi (islander from South Auckland) this video inspired me.... It's so much better at the top! Compared to poverty and struggle. I hope other people get that same message.
I feel you brother! That's a really nice way of thinking.
I went from priviledged and secure in central to Papavegas then moved to the South Island and ended up with Imposter Syndrome in West Melton and just moved further out in Canterbury. Ego is poor and rich, real wealth is happiness.
Money isn't everything. Yes it makes life easier, but as long as you have your trust in the Lord and have your family around you and good friends for support, you will do ok 😊
@@lukewilson5941 thanks but that's not the point. It's better to do "AMAZING" than to just do "ok" or to just "get by".
@@shoutatthesky whatttt. His heritage and where he was raised 🤷
Great video. The two people at the end that opened their homes proves why Kiwis are some of the best people in the world.
Ajay has a huge motor yacht birthed at westhaven...if you ask nicely, he'll take you on a trip...
Problem with New Zealand is that everything is so dam expensive
Expensive and boring
I agree
@@reactor-k3j agree, however that may also be a good thing
@@reactor-k3j Australia is far more boring. In NZ, you can drive 3 hours in any direction and there's heaps to do. In Australia it's not like that. Yes there is nature but it's dead.
@@november132 well there's a place for everyone and I lived in both countries for more than 10 years and both have its own beauty :)
I worked in Herne Bay when I was a student. I worked at the after school care program at Bayfield Primary so I got to meet a lot of these parents … they were all so lovely and easy going. I’m a Polynesian from West Auckland and they never once made feel like I was out of place. My grandmothers house was only a few minutes away in Grey Lynn so I was familiar with the area and have seen the gentrification over the decades but it’s nice to know the people are good people.
Did you know a Samoan family lived across the road on Clifton Rd? Huge house with pool etc...they moved back to Europe a few year back...
@@bobanyfingelf no sorry, I’m Tokelauan. Sounds like they did well for themselves though. I worked there many moons ago. Unfortunately didn’t meet any Polynesian families there.
NZ is overpriced
Couldn’t agree more
@@randommanonyoutube most of those houses were ugly as f too.
agreed
This is why I’m packing my bags. I’m leaving to Oz very soon.
100% correct
Jamie needs to see more of New Zealand
He really does
He needs another series of this..but in Otara.
As someone who owns a home in NZ, they’re overpriced to begin with. A tiny crap box is $500k.
Come to Sydney and see what you'll get for 500
Left NZ 2 months ago for a new chapter with my wife in the Philippines. NZ being too expensive especially for the working middle class is the sole reason of our move. You pretty much have to decide between having a family or a house. One full time worker is not enough to sustain a comfortable lifestyle.
I live 10 houses away from the first lady who let you in to her house. All of the neighbours I have met are very nice, down to earth people and love to stop and chat. Herne Bay is a great community that looks out for each other in my opinion.
I know where you live Aryan racist bigot you hate poor Māori bro tāpu Aryan bigot
Especially when it's HALLOWEEN!!!
Surround yourself with people who inspire you, and fantastic things will happen
Dave Dobbins?
You rich yet?
Very cool, guys.
And personally, I found both of those home owners and what they had to say inspiring.
Ive had that 50 million dollar home saved on my trade me watch list for ages 😂😂
This is actually a great insight into how normal and misunderstood “Rich” people are in New Zealand. Everyone thinks they’re stuck up assholes who are detached from the reality of everyday life. They’re actually just pretty normal people with high standards who work hard to get ahead.
We only seen a few that agreed to be on camera 🤣 doesnt put them all in the good books lol
@@dillathekilla3110I agree! I was bullied at a private school in Auckland and while I’m super grateful for the education there, the students and bullying was not a fun time at all
@@caitlingill Surley you don't think bullying only happens at private schools?
@@wally07 I never said that at all! I also went to a public school before that and was bullied there too lol. I’m just saying that private schools aren’t all sunshine and roses as some people think they are.
Kiwi's are the kindest people. This is an epic video showing New Zealand !
Thats so cool! Do you know anything more about Marissas business workshops? or how to get in touch with her. she seems like such a vibe :) id love to learn from her!
Its crazy that a 50million dollar house has old tile roofing. 20million in renovations and they didn't spend it on upgrading the roof
Only rich people say that money can’t buy happiness
Wow, Marisa really spoke some profound truths - what an amazing woman.
these nz videos are dope ! glad you came here bro
My grandparents lived in Herne Bay. The residents didn't want Māori there. Sir Dove Meyer Robinson, who was mayor at the time re-named the street after my nan Amiria.
What a crock! So sick of the victim narrative!! Māoris are the biggest wingers, always the victim narrative when they’ve had it better than every other nationality on the planet and they still winge!!
Aw Marisa! She's so lovely 🥰
10.5 mil only one bathroom 😂😂😂 how will they cope .
Cheaper cleaning fees.
Watching this video while I live in a 4m x 4m cabin that I spend $250NZD to live in with shared facilities. Here I am looking around at my little box and it must be nice to have a proper house with a nice community.
Just a beautiful video all around, respect to the two that invited you into their homes
Totally right. If two lads were at my front door I would be like " am I getting rolled? " 😂
I’m sorry, but that woman was absolutely gorgeous inside and out, like what an inspiring lady… that really hit a spot!🫶🏽
Literally laughed out loud when you consider Aucklanders the nicest. That’s probably why whenever I fly to Aussie I feel everyone there is a lot ruder than NZ
I feel like if he went to south Auckland he would possibly retract that “Aucklanders are the nicest” comment 😂
Aussies are just more open. Rudeness manifests in different ways. In NZ, it's passive aggressiveness
@@dimsummmm6941 he's been to South Auckland, check his channel.
@@dimsummmm6941he went to otara and manurewa in his previous vid
@dimsummmm6941 he went to otara and seemed like he enjoyed it
That lady Larissa I think, her summary of life summary of life purpose was bang on
I'm gonna have to get the Aussie site Inspector to check for complete shamozzles before I purchase them mate 😅
Good to see u active again Jamie!!!
the 2 new zealanders at the end were so sweet and welcoming
Basically 100 pounds is 209 New zealand dollars so definitely expensive here in new zealand compared to the uk
that means absolutely nothing. thats just the currency exchange rate 😭
If you're saying that it is more expensive to live in New Zealand than Britain, that doesn't bother me at all. Britain is a cold gloomy dump with a ton more problems than New Zealand. So the trade off is fair.
Lived in both. Money goes alot further in Nz, way more freedom too.
@@nickcolebikes7747Totally agree, money goes further in New Zealand by far
@@lukewilson5941there are probably more events and entertainment on a single London street at any given time than there is in the whole of New Zealand. NZ is a big retirement village.
i love marissa
Good friends , good family, I felt that! She’s awesome
Checking in from New Zealand and I can confirm houses are WAY overpriced.
Nz is a ripoff, their price tags are ridiculous you would think your buying a mansion only to get something real basic.
A million dollars will get you a basic 2 bedroom house, in an average neighbourhood in Auckland, it's a joke.
live 45 minutes away from that lady and i can say New Zealand is pretty expensive but a good place
7:18 the bros face when that painting was for that much gets me all the time. XD
That awesome Wahine has a legendary Peter Jackson movie prop in her house!
Enjoyed watching this, thanks! Herne bay is a nice area.. but crazy expensive - try Queenstown next!
A poor place in Dorkland is a rich place in another town somewhere in NZ. I went from Papakura to West Melton. A dump to a mansion. There's something seriously wrong in NZ.
Also brings back memories of when I use to deliver Pizza's to those houses. Generous tippers 😂
@@Bonsqueesquee how generous 🤔
Such a relaxed, informative and inspiring documentary. Enjoyed every minute of it and the two gracious humans who not only opened up their beautiful settings, they opened up their hearts so humbly and authentically.
its kind of cool how open new Zealanders are.
Just love your channel and the way you interview people. So genuine ❤
As a New Zealander watching this video just crushed any hopes and dreams of me ever having a nice house 😂
Herne bay is a mini New York City but they always come out south Auckland to do their groceries shopping 😅
Best video I’ve seen of yours thus far awesome.
As a kiwi i recommend doing a video on the Gloriavale Christian (Cult)
Bloody good kiwis that worked hard. So amazing I love that. And so humble so cool
Theres hidden gems all around NZ that you need to see bro. There’s a little spot somewhere on the way towards Maraetai where about 4 years ago I met this “PROPER RICH” old man, I worked with my dad on his internet and he had like a proper old school mansion like in the movies with the pillars, palm trees, garden and statues but you can’t see anything until you drive into his property because everything is covered up from the outside from the tall hedges. he was cleaning his car collection (he said he cleans it every week btw) and they weren’t normal cars, they were like 1920-1940ish Rolls Royce’s, he had like 12. No joke he also had a tank sitting in his front lawn. His mansion literally looks like a scene from the TV series Bridgeton.
I've never ever been to Herne Bay and I'm born and bred in New Zealand. My first time i went to Auckland i was in my late 20s and the first place i went to was Otara. And i cried and i was scared . I didnt realise it was like that
No wonder a lot of tech billionaires have a house in NZ lol
Marisa is an awesome person
Remind me to letter drop that $50 million dollar property about our house-sitting experience 😂
Come to Napier bro I’ll show you around
Try Pukekohe area in Auckland. I've seen some massive constructions happening around that area and its would be super interesting if you could make a video with the locals out there
Thankyou Marissa for those beautiful words, needed them today 👍🏻
Surprisingly heartwarming, thanks!
0:43 this lady is speaking straight facts.
Brother! Every street is expensive here in nz haha
Truth!
New Zealand is amazing.
I’m 19 and live in Auckland currently studying architecture watching this is quite inspiring seeing these houses in my area 😮
I would remove yourself from that program immediately, no future in it. Your going to be very disappointed…..
The guy you interviewed at the cafe is 100% on the money. New Zealand is a housing market with a economy attached.
after watching this it really shocks me that my best friends family of 4 owns 2 houses in herne bay worth 10-20 million each and she's so humble. like once i asked how much her parents made and she said enough to put money on the table
Manurewa is the most expensive part broooo
Yeah cause everything gets stolen 😂
@Jskuxdeluxetouchmanutz
No, you mean everything is stolen 😅
@@lukewilson5941 😭😭🤣
Adults talking, keep quiet kiddies
1:45 that is the strangest thing you could say to someone
I lived in Saudi Arabia. This isnt a big deal
I am from New Zealand Thanks For Visiting!!
Pretty typical to say this in nz but, that 8.4m dollar house in Hern bay is my uncles house 😂 stg gutted he didn’t answer the door
That high end real estate agent said “casual New Zealander” lol, a casual New Zealander lives in a $700 rental not a $20 million mansion
No. Most New Zealanders own, not rent. Obviously not multi-m properties, but if your perspective is that most rent then you need to find new friends 😅
@@jtkto Actually that is changing, soon there will be more renters, rapidly changing.
@@fabmanly1070 wrong
I live in Auckland and this video is informative. Thanks for the great content.
What a great real video ❤ inspiring and informative
Bro it's a good day when Jamie uploads also come over to mount wellington Auckland NZ there is some crime and adventure waiting for you especially when you are doing a documentary there's gang violence and more.
Boring, we see enough of that s**t.
Bruva it was just a suggestion not to cause any bad stuff I was just reccomending it
Used to be filled with many Pacific Island families and there still are some in and around the area but like the video said-it got "gentrified", just like all the surrounding areas like Ponsonby, Westmere and Grey Lynn. Cool vid though.
50mil for that house. What a waste! Guaranteed if that house was in the usa it would be 2mil or less lol
Certainly is one of the best places to live, but people are either working dusk till dawn to survive financially, and pay half their earnings in tax, or in the doll (unemployment benefit) being supported by the govt, with no occupation. Two extremes!
I went to school with Ollie Wall, great guy! Wow, havent seen him in years!
Most expensive property in New Zealand is actually in Orakei on Paritai Drive. If not, it’ll be the ex Dotcom Coatesville mansion
How much is it?
@@saayedbinabulkhair8508it last sold in 2013 for $39million but there was a 15ha property in Queenstown that sold last year for $40 million
Residential property, probably. But most expensive, definitely not. There are farm properties in the South Island that sell over 50M. There was also a farm property that was up as a EOI that will sell for over 150M minimum.
@@riamriam6758 good point. I was purely referring to residential properties in response to Ollie Wall’s comment re $50 million property in Herne Bay as Paritai Drive mansion is still $58 million on CV.
There are definitely farms, forestry investments that go into the $100s of millions
I'd say it would be Helena bay estate. Over 100mil development. Just has never been sold since it was built
The things that make me happy cost money 😢
I’m 52 hoping to end the rat race by 60 with above $1M. I know money is a liability to be exchanged for assets with real value like real estate (properties for rent) stocks (dividends) bonds (interest) But, what is it with bitcoin? I hear a lot about it and I'd love to diversify my portfolio.
bitcoin does not pay any yield but will reward you with growth that you can't find in any other asset class
look at the charts, bitcoin has outperformed every stock and banking product ever developed even after multiple pullbacks over the last decade. not a financial advisor but I know what i'm saying
The key is diversification. Personally, I delegate my investing to an advisor, cos my job doesn't permit the time to perform market analysis myself. Thankfully, my once ago stagnant portfolio has now 5X in barely 4 years, summing up almost 7 figure as of today.
I went from no money to lnvest with to busting my A** off on Uber eats for four months to raise about $20k to start trading with Evelyn Infurna. I am at $128k right now and LOVING that you have to bring this up here
i'm blown away! more info please? i am a young adult living in Miami where i've encountered several millionaires, and my goal is to become one... they all seem to be involved in either real estate, stocks, or crypto
8:45 thumbs up
Why didn't you go to Queenstown?
Yeaaaaa the kiwis up the wahs
Love your videos Jamie 🎉 welcome to NZ 🍸
I move to Auckland but I value my lungs
I grew in up around greylynn and herne bay areas going to school there and as a kid roaming the streets going to friends houses, it predominantly Pacifica abd Polynesian roots but still felt community. Here bay has always been beautiful villas and bungalows, interesting to see its now mist expensive neighborhood.
love the classical music. hilarious!
3:33 bro just called me broke in EVERY WAY
And to think my parents (dad kiwi and mum Samoan) owned their first home freehold in Herne Bay in the early 70s … and then moved to the suburbs for safety reasons. No joke. You’ll often find that Auckland’s inner suburbs during the 70s/80s as case examples for white flight leading to gentrification
JAMI ZHU Don't know you? NZ has had one of the best real estate salesman and journalist Phil Spencer filmed the most beautiful architect homes he's well known in the world filmed a couple of huge phenomenal homes in Queenstown looking out to lake Wanaka gorgeous and these are a one off design homes that what's so great about these homes you would never see this design anywhere else in the world Phil Spencer was over come with this home its actually several barns unusual .
Awesome Ajay!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awesome bro welcome to NZ love to see you everywhere here in Nz with more videos God bless you bro
W Marissa and RJ.
Great video cuz!
There’s a house in waihake island for sale and it’s priced at nearly 60m
