But some fans were left open-mouthed as she failed to acknowledge her no expense spared getaways to Dubai, Disneyland and Budapest, while claiming she has "no life".
Molly said: "I said to a friend the other day, that I'm going to make it to the end of summer having not done one fun thing."
Speaking to her sister, she said: "Zoe, I haven't socialised once. I'm going to get to the end of this summer having not done one social fun thing.
"I haven't a life. That's not good is it.
"Summer will end and I've not done one fun social thing."
Molly went on to say that she's not put makeup on or dressed up for a night out with her friends in ages.
But her followers were quick to hit out at the star for taking her luxury lifestyle for advantage.
One wrote: "I like Molly but she does complain."
A second posted: "Wimbledon, lunches, Spain, Dubai, France, Centre Parcs... let's normalise that."
Someone else commented: "This was so jarring because she can casually spend 6k in Dior on an outfit to log to Wimbledon then complains she has no time for herself.
"'No life', when she has a better life than 99.9 per cent of girls/mums her age," a fourth said.
"She's been to Dubai three times this year," this person said.
This follower posted: "She's on holiday every month, she was just at Wimbledon. She was at Estelle Manor Spa."
While another noted: "She's a millionaire, she can literally wake up tomorrow and do whatever the hell she wants."
This annoyed viewer asked: "Why does she always want us to feel sorry for her?"
It comes after the influencer traveled to the UAE in March with their two-year-old daughter, Bambi, and praised the destination as their "happy place".
Tommy was spotted at the airport with them, and the pair shared nearly identical snaps from the same resort.
In April, Tommy splurged on a luxury stay in Budapest as he prepared for his first fight since defeating KSI in October 2023.
They stayed at The Pullman, a five-star hotel with luxurious amenities, including a gym, restaurant, and bar.
The hotel's most expensive suite, which boasts a spiral staircase, is believed to cost at least £500 a night.
In May, Molly-Mae and Tommy took Bambi to Disneyland Paris.
Molly-Mae gave fans a glimpse into the lavish getaway - complete with champagne on board and a Mickey Mouse cake.
The former Love Islander also took a trip to St Moriz in Switzerland in January for a luxurious "work trip".
Taking to Instagram, she shared several clips and photos from her stay at the posh Badrutt's Palace Hotel in St. Moritz, where rooms go for around £1,500 a night.

The Beckhams are right – parents should never buy their children a house
After providing their four children with a luxury life filled with prestigious prep schools, global travel and high-end designer goods, David and Victoria Beckham were probably as surprised as the rest of us were when they were recently accused of being tight towards their eldest son, Brooklyn. Amid a bitter family feud involving Brooklyn's wife, Nicola, her billionaire parents have apparently accused the power couple of being stingy because they didn't contribute financially to the £11m mansion the young couple bought after their wedding. Instead, it is reported that they largely used her family's money to buy their dream home. With a combined net worth of £500m, it's hardly as if the Beckhams couldn't afford to contribute. But they apparently chose not to because handing millions to their son on a plate is dead against their hard graft ethos. Both originally from working-class backgrounds (though Victoria's father did infamously own a Rolls Royce at one point), they are said to believe that spoiling their children by handing them everything on a silver platter would send them the wrong message. Well, I probably speak for a lot of people when I say I'm in absolute agreement with them. Far from seeming mean, I can't have been the only one thinking this clash of values has left Victoria and David looking like the utterly sensible parents in this argument. After all, unfettered access to money is one of the main reasons why so many children of rich parents end up being unhappy, dysfunctional, or both. It denies them one of the main drivers of self-worth that young adults can find today: achieving the things you want in life by working hard. Of course, back in the real world, we mere mortals with normal jobs and incomes can only dream of having the means to help buy their children a first home outright. But among middle-class and wealthy parents, stumping up a sizeable deposit so their 20-something professional children can afford a dingy one-bed flat with single-glazed windows has become the done thing. It's understandable, since getting on the property ladder is now harder than ever – one report claims it hasn't been harder for 150 years. But I've recently come around to the idea that for parents of children who are capable working adults, giving them a leg or two up onto the housing ladder might not be the best way to help them at all. Conversely, although it may sound deliberately mean, I actually think it may be kinder to make them do it alone. Now before Generation Z starts kicking off, I'm not suggesting for one second that parents shouldn't financially support their children, even into early adulthood. Since becoming a parent, pretty much every financial decision I make is now with my child's future at the front of my mind. The vast majority of parents want to use their resources in the smartest way possible to give their offspring what they deem to be the best start in life. Privilege can be dished out in a million different ways according to people's wildly different values. But as the Beckhams rightly seem to be saying with their actions, making life's biggest achievements too easy for young adults can be a big mistake. As far as adult milestones go, buying a house is up there with the most significant. If you manage to do it yourself, and your parents are not there to take any direct credit, all the better. Some may cry that house prices and rents are now so high that homeownership is unachievable without financial support. Although it's undeniably difficult – and much tougher than it used to be – unachievable it is not. Remember too that there is not one property market in the UK. Price differences between the regions and areas within regions is vast. Although some affluent areas may be very much out of reach for those buying without heavy assistance, lovely-sized homes in others may be perfectly affordable on an average salary. Lots of people I know have managed it, myself and my husband included. The sense of satisfaction we are feeling in our 30s having bought and renovated our family home through hard work alone is something I would love our child to experience one day. Our modest terraced house is certainly no Beverly Hills mansion, but it strikes me that Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, along with others whose homes were purchased in significant part by the Bank of Mum and Dad, may never get to experience this feeling of achievement you get when you have 'made it' by yourselves. That's why, instead of aspiring to help buy my son a house in the future, I would rather focus any money I happen to save for him on creating an environment that's geared towards him reaching his full potential and becoming fiercely self-motivated. I would like to provide him with the tools he needs to succeed on his own as an independent adult, but after that, I think the rest should be up to him. I'm sure many would disagree, but I think parents' money would be better spent on private secondary education (or tutoring to get into a good grammar school), paying university fees to avoid crippling debts later, offering support during the early career years and providing the backing to take business risks that might pay off in the future. It also occurs to me that resisting the temptation to subsidise our children's adulthood, simply because the goalposts are moving in the wrong direction, may be robbing them of the chance to rise to the challenge. It's even possible that if we all adopted the tough love approach, it might do wonders for the UK's productivity and the wider economy. Naturally, everyone wants to help their own child get ahead, but if the Bank of Mum and Dad stopped paying house deposits tomorrow, I suspect house prices would fall overnight, therefore instantly helping solve the problem of homes being unaffordable to young buyers. But of course this will never happen, and by the time I'm a 50-something parent of a 20-something year-old who is moaning down the phone about living in a damp, mouse-ridden hovel in a rough part of town, I'm well aware I may be forced to eat my words on all of the above. For now, I applaud the Beckhams' refusal to hand their son the money for a house. There is no magic formula for raising happy and successful children, so we just have to follow our instincts and hope it works out. But if we want them to achieve genuine financial independence as adults, we must think very carefully about the privileges we afford them both now and in the future.

Champion kickboxer loses bid to sue Egyptian tycoon for 'many millions' in British courts for the murder of his pop star girlfriend
A champion kickboxer has lost his bid to sue an Egyptian multi-millionaire in British courts after his girlfriend was savagely murdered. Lebanese singer Suzan Tamim shot to fame as winner of a 'Pop Idol'-style Arabic TV talent show in 1996 and became one of the biggest stars in the Middle East. After moving to the UK, she formed a relationship with flamboyant London-based British-Iraqi kickboxer, Riyadh Al-Azzawi, a former six-time world champion, renowned for his fleet of gold-plated supercars. But her life was cut short aged 30 in 2008 when she was savagely murdered in a Dubai apartment by killer Mohsen Al-Sukkari. A Dubai court found the assassin had been directed by Ms Tamim's spurned suitor, multi-millionaire Egyptian tycoon Hisham Talaat Moustafa and the pair were convicted of murder and initially sentenced to death in 2010. They were later re-sentenced to jail terms, but Mr Moustafa was given a presidential pardon and released in 2017. After earlier claims through the Dubai criminal courts were rejected, Mr Al-Azzawi in 2022 instead brought a civil claim for 'many millions' in compensation to the High Court in London. But his UK compensation bid has been ended after High Court judge, Mr Justice Butcher, overturned previous orders which had extended time for the case to be served on Mr Moustafa outside of the country. The court heard kickboxer Mr Al-Azzawi was born in Iraq, but moved to the UK, where he obtained British citizenship. He now spends his time between London and Dubai. He became the first Arab to win the world kickboxing title in 2008, before chalking up another five subsequent victories. Known as the 'golden champion', the 39-year-old is famed for his flamboyance, wearing golden clothes and jewellery and driving gold-wrapped sports cars. Ms Tamim, who he claims to have wed in an Islamic marriage in 2007, found fame in the late 1990s after winning top prize in the popular Studio El Fan television show. Setting out Mr Al-Azzawi's case, the judge said he claimed Egyptian tycoon Mr Moustafa had attempted to pressure Ms Tamim into marriage, causing her to flee from Egypt to London. She met the kickboxer there, but Mr Moustafa 'had not abandoned his pursuit' of her and, after offering her money, 'then turned to direct threats and intimidation'. 'In the particulars of claim, it is alleged that one of these threats was a message sent to Ms Tamim while she was in London, which said, "Fifty million dollars says you come back to Cairo to marry me or one million dollars says I have your throat cut",' said the judge. 'The claimant's evidence is, further, that in July 2008, Ms Tamim travelled to Dubai to stay in the apartment which she and the claimant owned. 'On 28 July 2008, she was murdered in that apartment by Mohsen Al-Sukkari, a former officer with the Egyptian police, who took not only Ms Tamim's life but that of her and the claimant's unborn child. 'The Dubai police had then launched an investigation, which had gathered evidence indicating that the defendant (Mr Moustafa) had ordered the murder and paid Al-Sukkari a substantial sum for it to be done.' Both men were found guilty after several trials and appeals, with Mr Al-Sukkari ultimately jailed for life and Mr Moustafa for 15 years. Mr Moustafa, who is now 65, was released after receiving a presidential pardon in 2017, while Mr Al-Sukkari was released in similar circumstances in 2022. Mr Al-Azzawi ultimately launched his case against Mr Moustafa in 2022, having complained of 'grief, psychological and emotional damage' and a serious negative impact on his kickboxing career, as well as future loss of earnings on behalf of his late partner's estate. He estimated his claim would be worth 'many millions,' said the judge. However, because Mr Moustafa was outside of the UK, he had to apply for permission from the High Court to serve claim documents outside the country. The kickboxer was initially successful but the case came back to court earlier this month when Mr Moustafa applied for the orders to be set aside, claiming that the UK court has no jurisdiction to hear the claim. His lawyers claimed there was a failure on the part of Mr Al-Azzawi's team to 'make proper disclosure' in relation to their argument that he brought his claim too late under UAE law, a fact which the High Court was bound to take into account. Giving judgment, Mr Justice Butcher said Mr Moustafa claimed it is 'highly arguable' that the claim would be considered too late - 'time-barred' - and agreed that there is 'at the least, a very real question as to whether proceedings commenced in 2022 are time-barred.' He said there had been 'a failure to comply with the duty to make proper disclosure' when Mr Al-Azzawi's lawyers sought permission to serve the UK case papers on Mr Moustafa in Egypt and that the orders extending time and allowing service outside of the UK would be set aside. He said: 'While it is argued by the claimant that this gives rise to a windfall to the defendant, who is not required to answer for the claimant's claim, founded as it is on a truly appalling incident, this is something which is common in applications of this sort. 'If the claimant cannot now pursue his claims because they are time-barred, the responsibility for that does not rest with the defendant.' He added that, even if the service orders had not been set aside, he would have halted the UK action on the basis that the Dubai courts were 'clearly and distinctly more appropriate' for deciding the claim. The kickboxer can continue his bid to sue in the UAE if the courts there find he is not outside the time limit to do so.

The popular resort in Spain that's so overcrowded even Spanish citizens can't afford to holiday there
With endless sandy beaches and countless restaurants, hotels and holiday homes, people in Spain should be spoilt for choice when it comes to holidaying in their own country. Instead, they are having to opt for trips abroad while everyone else flies in to enjoy the summer months. Last year, the holiday destination attracted 94 million tourists, while Spanish citizens reduced their travel in the country by 0.8 per cent, according to The Times. Local residents have been priced out of popular resorts including Valencia, a city with rich history and beautiful coastal areas. Carlos Moreno, 63, who works as a doorman in Madrid told The Times how the price to rent a flat for even a week has become unattainable. He said: 'We used to pay about €1,200 for an apartment for 15 days. Now a week costs that much or even double. 'We can't afford a hotel and we don't fancy camping.' Instead of heading to Valencia with his wife like usual, they have had to stay in Madrid. While Wendy Davila, from Alicante, told Travel And Tour World how she finds beach areas in Spain too costly. She said: 'Prices are exorbitant. The whole coast of Spain is very expensive.' The 26-year-old added: 'Now you can't vacation wherever you want, but wherever you can afford.' Instead of heading to popular coastal locations in Spain, locals are heading inland and according to the publication 1.7million Spaniards last year preferred central destinations over beaches. There's a variety of reasons behind the shift, with hotel prices rising more then 50 per cent in the last four years and even the cost of a camping trip has shot up by 11 per cent. While the price of apartments have reportedly increased by 37 per cent. If a Spaniard does choose to go away to a local beach, they then have to face the rising cost of eating out which has increased by more than 21 per cent since 2021. Flights have also shot up within the country by 8 per cent between January and April. Instead of heading to popular coastal locations in Spain, locals are heading inland and according to the publication 1.7million Spaniards last year preferred central destinations over beaches It may not be surprising, then, that local residents are also increasingly opting for trips out of the country to more affordable destinations. Alex Villeyra, tourism data company Mabrian boss, told The Times: 'Last year, Spaniards reduced their domestic travel by 0.8 per cent, while increasing their international trips by 12 per cent.' The cost of living crisis in Spain is having an impact too, with a third of Spaniards saying they can't afford a week-long holiday, according to National Statistics Institute, The Olive Press reported. Experts blame staggering rental price increases, with 40 per cent of those renting not being able to afford regular holidays, in contract to 28 per cent of those who own a home. Tensions in the country over tourism have been brimming recently, too. Last year, anti-tourism protestors filled the streets of the Basque city of San Sebastian. Activists walked behind a banner that said in Basque and Spanish: 'Decrease in tourism now.' While demonstrations on April 5th took place across major Spanish towns and cities including Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga and Palma. According to organizers, 30,000 people took to the streets of Malaga - a seaside town in the south of Spain - as they demanded solutions to the housing crisis, with banners reading: 'Houses for the people of Málaga. Hotels for tourists, affordable rents.' But police reported that around 5,000 demonstrators took part in the Malaga march. Residents were photographed holding banners with the slogan: 'Houses for the people of Málaga. Hotels for tourists'. Some also hung posters from their balconies and windows with messages saying: 'Housing is a right, not a business'.
