To make the money flex trend video with AI, open the Money Flex trend on vswp, add one photo of the person who takes the place of the man with the money and start. There's nothing to film or download, and no cash to borrow: the 12-second clip is already on vswp with him found, and the room, the stacks of dollars, the camera and the sound stay as in the original. You can try a free preview first, and the MP4 is usually ready in minutes.

What is the money flex trend?

Call it the money flex trend, the flexing money trend or the money fan trend: it's a showing-off-money video in its simplest form. A man in a dark suit, round sunglasses and a gold watch shows off huge stacks of US dollars at the camera in a living room with a ceiling fan. He hugs a pile of bundles, drops a tall stack, fans out wads of hundreds toward the lens and flicks the bills, and at the end he fans the cash in front of his face.

It's one continuous vertical shot, 11.9 seconds long, filmed from a low angle as if the phone stood on a table piled with money. The sound is "RIO FREE (A.T. mixxx)" by Rio Da Yung OG and A.T., a single from December 2024; Rio Da Yung OG is a rapper from Flint, Michigan. That's why people also search for it as the RIO FREE trend. The original is an Instagram Reel posted around October 7, 2026.

Who should do the money flex?

  • The friend who's always broke. The bigger the stacks, the better the joke.
  • You, on payday. Post it the minute your paycheck lands.
  • The birthday person. A birthday flex for the group chat.
  • The friend with big news. A new job or a first big sale: the video already matches the mood.

Whoever it is, ask first. The trend has one person to replace; for several friends in one video, pick a group trend from the trends list.

How do you make your own version?

  1. Ask first. Use your photo or a friend's, with their OK: by starting a video, you confirm you have the right to use it.
  2. Open the trend. Go to the Money Flex trend page.
  3. Sign in with Telegram. No password needed.
  4. Add the photo to his card. He's the one person replaced: the room, the cash and the camera stay exactly as filmed.
  5. Try the free preview. Press "Make the free preview" to see about 5 seconds, at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark.
  6. Make the full video. Pick 480p or 720p, check the price in Telegram Stars, shown before you start, and press "Create the full video". If it fails or you cancel it, the Stars come back.
  7. Download the MP4. It's a 12-second video with the original sound, ready for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Tips for posting are in how to post an AI video on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

Which photo works best?

Here the photo replaces the whole person, not just the face: the face, hair, build and clothes come from it, while his moves, the money and the timing stay.

  • Full body, one person, empty hands. A sharp full-length photo carries the face, build and outfit together. There's no need to hold anything: the money is in the clip.
  • A clear face. The camera is close and low, so the face is large in the frame. Use a sharp, well-lit photo with nothing over the face.
  • Dressed for the flex. The outfit comes from the photo, so pick one in clothes you want to be seen in: a suit, a hoodie, a jacket.
  • Sunglasses stay. If the photo has them, they stay in the video. For the eyes to show, use a photo without them.

What can go wrong, and how do you fix it?

  • Hands at the lens. The money and the hands come right up to the camera, and quick hands are hard for any AI video. If fingers or bills come out blurry, make another take.
  • Cash in front of the face. At the end the bills pass in front of the face, as in the original. If the face around them looks off, another take usually helps.
  • The face doesn't look like them. The face is large in this shot, so a soft or dark photo shows. Try a sharper, brighter, front-facing one.

How much does it cost?

Every new user gets one free preview: about 5 seconds of the clip at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark. The full video is paid in Telegram Stars through the bot @vswpapp_bot. The price depends on length and quality and is shown before you start, and if a render fails or you cancel it, the Stars come back automatically.
