Karachi( The COW News Digital)Popular Pakistani YouTuber Maaz Safder, who commands a combined following of over 6.7 million across YouTube and Instagram, has sparked public curiosity by choosing to live in a rented home despite earning millions through content creation.
The social media star recently moved out of his family home after a reported disagreement with his father. Since then, Maaz has been residing in a rented house, which he is customizing to fit his personal tastes — a decision that raised many eyebrows among fans and critics alike.
Maaz addressed the public’s growing questions in a recent vlog, where he clarified why he’s investing heavily in a rental property rather than purchasing his own home.
“People keep asking why I’m spending so much money on a rental. The answer is simple — I don’t feel the need to buy a house right now. I prefer experiencing different living spaces. If I spend money on this house and live here for three years, I’m still making money through content filmed here,” Maaz said.
He added that even after moving out, the furnishings and improvements made to the home will either be taken with him or benefit the landlord — making it a win-win situation. “There’s no shame in it,” he asserted.
Maaz’s explanation left fans divided. Some praised his practical and entrepreneurial approach to living and investing in content, while others remained firm in the belief that homeownership should be a top priority, especially for someone with his income. Critics argue that renting drains income and offers no long-term security.
Currently, Maaz Safder lives with his wife Saba and their son Basil. The couple is expecting their second child soon and appear to be enjoying a stable and happy family life.
Despite the controversy, Maaz remains one of Pakistan’s top content creators, consistently gaining millions of views on his daily vlogs. His transparency about personal choices and lifestyle decisions continues to resonate with a large audience, especially among the youth.
Whether or not his housing strategy proves financially smart in the long run, Maaz Safder is certainly redefining success and challenging conventional norms of wealth and living in Pakistan.
