Chris Hemsworth's wife, Elsa Pataky, has faced backlash for offering advice to fans who are struggling financially. The Spanish model and actress suggested that people unhappy in their jobs should quit and travel instead.
Elsa, 49, and Chris, 42, are a power couple with an estimated net worth of over $200million. They share a luxurious mansion in New South Wales, Australia, and have three children together. In a recent interview, Elsa recommended that fans take risks in life to discover new things and open themselves up to opportunities with travel.
She told fans that if they're unhappy in their jobs, they should "free themselves" and travel somewhere else. However, her comments were met with swift backlash from people who felt she was out of touch with those who can't afford to quit their jobs or travel.
Many commenters pointed out that Elsa's advice was easy to give when she has a multi-millionaire husband to cover her living costs. Some people also criticized her for promoting a clothing line that is not affordable to everyday people.
Elsa's collaboration with clothing brand Spell includes items ranging from $100 to $305. Her contribution to the brand is set to arrive on July 21. However, some people have expressed frustration that the clothing line is not accessible to those who cannot afford it.
Elsa and Chris have been married since 2010 and have three children together. Chris has spoken about how he wants his children to appreciate the value of money and not take their privileged upbringing for granted.
Elsa has had a successful acting career, appearing in films such as Snakes on a Plane and Furiosa, and has also worked as a model. She previously dated actor Adrien Brody, who bought her a 19th-century castle as a gift.
Elsa's comments have sparked a wider conversation about privilege, wealth, and financial advice. Many people have expressed frustration that celebrities and wealthy individuals often offer advice that is not relevant or accessible to those who are struggling financially.
