In recent days, the video of an influencer named Nirvana Hank
went viral on X and TikTok
.
Because?
Because in the clip, the young woman shows her life of luxury and shows that among her belongings there is a giraffe.
Yes, a real giraffe.
The Mexican shows her golf cart, a huge dining room with dozens of chairs, an island with monkeys, a statue in a room and the aforementioned giraffe.
It is also filmed inside the Tijuana "Xolos" playing field, making it clear that she has the possibility of entering it whenever she wants.
Immediately, many users wondered who this girl is and why she has so much money.
In fact, there was not very friendly speculation regarding the origin of her capital.
But that is another subject
.
Here we are to answer the following question:
Who is Nirvana Hank?
Nirvana Hank is a 24-year-old girl, daughter of the former Municipal President of Tijuana,
Jorge Hank Thon
, and former deputy
María Elvia Amaya
.
On the part of the politician she has a total of 22 siblings;
eight from father and mother.
Nirvana is one of the few famous Hanks.
And he gained his popularity on Instagram and TikTok, where he has accumulated, between both social networks, more than a million followers.

In most of her videos she narrates her experiences as a recovering alcoholic to help others overcome that problem.
And also to help herself.
"Sharing my story helps my sobriety a lot. It allows me to remember how I finished and why, for today, I don't use. Thank you as always, I love you," she says in one of her latest videos.
In another post she says that due to her addiction she “harmed herself” for 8 years, thought about making an attempt on her life and asked her father to institutionalize her.
She understands that one of the big events that affected her was the death of her mother.
“
She changed my life
,” she stated about that event.
About the days she spent hospitalized, Nirvana even said: "I thought I was going to go to a strawberry clinic, I never imagined I was going to end up on an annexed farm."
And he concluded: "The first two weeks I spent thinking 'I'm going to go to the godmother and I'm going to tell her that all this is a mistake' (...) She told me: 'What you are is arrogant' and I told her : ‘I’m going to sue you, I’m going to take everything from you so let me go.’ Being annexed isn’t easy, but it works.”
Nirvana has more than 325 thousand followers on Instagram and almost 800 thousand on TikTok.

Beyond his difficult life experiences, Hank seems to have found his way by communicating his experiences and helping others.
In some posts she reveals her fanaticism for horse riding, a sport that helped her overcome her problems.
"Today I seek to grow (..). I am proud of being who I am," she acknowledges in the publication she made when she turned 24 where she is shown with a horse.
That message ends with a message of resilience for his followers: "Far from congratulating me, congratulations to everyone who is here today. Because life is not easy and staying to fight... that is brave."
Furthermore, in the annual balance for 2023 he acknowledged that he was living in favorable “
times of change
.”
“This year I learned that as we grow, our environment also grows with us.
Your person grows, changes, adapts... and so does your environment.
Relationships, friendships, projects and old parts of ourselves can remain along the way.
All to make room for new passions, projects;
new cities, people and adventures.
This is the way of life.
The most precious gift is the present and the sooner we understand it, the sooner we will be able to find fulfillment,” he wrote.
Nirvana did not speak regarding the viral video.
Not on Instagram, not on TikTok.
Horse riding, one of his passions.
