Jenaro Wilhelm is an Argentine name who lives in Switzerland and produces content about his life in this European country on TikTok for his audience of over a hundred thousand followers.
In one of his latest videos, the influencer shared information about how long he needs to work in Switzerland to buy luxury goods such as PlayStation 5 or iPhone 15 Pro Max.
(Also: PlayStation 5 Slim is official and Sony will release the new console in November).
Jenaro announced that he earns 33 Swiss Francs (CHF) per hour on his TikTok account. To buy a PlayStation 5 priced at CHF 419, you only need to work for a day and a half, assuming an eight-hour day. It will take five days of work to obtain the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has 256 GB capacity and costs CHF 1,299.
To put it in perspective, the price of a PlayStation 5 in Colombia ranges from $3,000,000 to $3,500,000, and the minimum monthly salary is $1,160,000. This means that someone earning minimum wage in Colombia would have to work for about three months to buy it. Jenaro, on the other hand, can purchase 40 PlayStation 5s in the same period.

Additionally, Wilhelm stated that he bought a second-hand Ford Fiesta for CHF 4,000 and that he only had to save 15 days of his salary to raise the money. He also stated that if he wanted to buy a high-end car that costs around CHF 20,000, he would have to work for 75 days, which would be almost the same as a Colombian earning minimum wage buying a PlayStation 5.
Despite this data, many internet users criticized Jenaro, arguing that these costs did not reflect how expensive living in Switzerland is; Those who visited as tourists claimed that basic products were overpriced.
However, Wilhelm explained that although the prices of products such as coffee or lunch are higher than in other European countries such as Spain, salaries are also quite high in Switzerland. Therefore, living in Switzerland is not expensive, but going on holiday is expensive.
