Sometimes a girl just has to shop. During Season 11, Episode 15 of Below Deck, stewardess Barbara “Barbie” Pascual opened up about her unique financial situation. After finishing up their penultimate charter of the season, the St. David crew received a whopping $25,000 tip, which evened out to $1,923 a person.
Barbie, for her part, knew exactly what to do with her new cash. “This tip is going in something that I can wear,” the Buenos Aires native said in a confessional. “Which is what I spend all my money on.”
The camera then flashed to a photo of Barbie’s impressive closet, with plenty of lovely fabrics and Gucci, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel bags and boxes making an appearance.
“My closet literally looks like Saks Fifth Avenue,” she added.

In a confessional interview, Barbie opened up about the support she receives from her father — and what she’d do if he ever stopped providing that support. “One day, if my dad really cuts me off, I could resell all my stuff and probably be fine for a couple of years,” Barbie said while holding up her Cartier love bracelet-bedecked hand to prove her point. “Cartiers for sale, ladies and gentlemen.”
As fans may recall, the stewardess, a self-described “daddy’s girl” (she uses the phrase in the Below Deck Season 11 trailer!), grew up quite comfortably.
“I lived in Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, China…” she told Bosun Jared Woodin and chief stew Fraser Olender during the crew’s first dinner out. “I grew up with three nannies all the time. One would cook, one would clean, and one would do my hair.”
During a February 2024 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Barbie even joked about joining a Housewives franchise someday. “It’s my dream!” she told host Andy Cohen. “Like, are you hiring? I don’t know if I have the funds.”
But after a few more tips, she might!
