$458,000 for the land and the build! Thanks for letting us know!

I want to hug you and thank you for buying this for yourself. Thank you for allowing us (allowing me, another black woman) to see this.. to see that it’s possible for us. Thank you for dealing with the challenges and pushing through. Your wins are our wins.

OMG A SISTER? THIS MAKES ME SO DAMN PROUD. Im from Bangladesh but grew up with so many black women in Toronto. This makes me feel so warm. Ma-Sh-ALLAH. Power to you my friend!

You are a truly strong-willed woman. I have got a lot of inspiration from watching the whole of 39 minutes... I'm 25 and I'm determined in building my dream house by 30s. I know i will make it.

You should write an ebook or make a course on this.

I LOVE it! You’re so right about the stereotype of Black women not being able to be successful. I love that you allowed us to be a part of your journey. I believe it’s extremely important for us in the black community to share with our black community so that our youth can see that it is possible. Thank you so much. I enjoy your channel and love your creativity and vast imagination ❤️❤️❤️

Chidi, thankyou for choosing my country as a place to live, to stay. I have lived several years in european countries before, and every moment have homesick and always want to be back home. Life is really wonderful here in Indonesia.

Baby Girl!!! I will say it again, you did that. The home is beautiful! So proud of you. My only advice is to not bother responding to haters because the most powerful statement is no statement. Keep glowing.

Girl you turned that place into a paradise ...How did you know how and what to do...Mad respect!!! I just got my Passport and would love to figure out a way to visit Bali...Good Lord Willing...Amen!

You have one of the best villas I’ve seen on KZfaq built in Bali. I love your style. You are an amazing, vibrant, educated, determined young, beautiful woman! Keep moving forward and breaking barriers!

Today’s Date is 12/26/21 I Am Moving To Bali Indonesia Fully Living By 12/26/24!! This is my life goal that I will manifest and stay focused on accomplishing even through the ups and downs of achieving this accomplish for myself!!!

It’s so amazing seeing this! God bless you Queen. Young, determined, black & beautiful, well spoken, educated, confident and vibrating high. Love this house! Thank you for your transparency ❤️ and thank you for leaving NYC cause this life just looks amazing on you! 🙌🏽

Congrats Chidi! This was one hell of a ride. I’m so glad you weather through the process of this project. The end result is amazing and I’m so excited to see what’s next for you. Sending you continue success for Villa Olori and your next projects. Get those coins girl do your thing out here living your best life!!!

I admire how freeing it seems you’ve framed your life. I’m praying for the same in my endeavors. I pray that you continue to elevate and inspire others. ❤️

You are absolutely amazing. You symbolize the saying "The sky is the limit"!

Thank you for being so transparent and honest about the ups and downs of the process.

Kudos to you for having gone through that process! When you are a high level professional, authentic representative of your business, you expect people to run their business the way you do. When you take that chunk of money from a prospective client, you are ready to deliver and want to return clients/future referrals so you're committed to doing it well. Unfortunately, too many people, especially in the construction, home reno business. Went what you did

It blows mind how brilliant this young woman is ‼️ So amazing and inspiring

I don't know you, but I'm so proud of you! You're such an inspiration.

Your home is gorgeous! Although you may have went through some rough patches through the process, I’m so happy you endured through. You are an inspiration! Keep up the good work! CONGRATULATIONS!

First of all congratulation on your new house. I was really inspired by seeing your videos. I hope one day I can build my own villa in Bali or Lombok. As an Indonesian and a woman I am really proud of you!!

You are awesome and inspiring! I am sure that your parents are so proud of you. I cannot say thank you enough for your transparency, life changing information. Your villa is on our vacation list when we return to Bali.

The $500k you were able to save & spend on this build is a BIG deal. Very few 25yr olds or adults of any age can raise this kind of $$$ without the support of wealthy parents or a bank loan.

I love the way you articulate so eloquently, like a BAWSE! YESSS, Black women are amazing and powerful

I am so happy watching you live out your dreams despite adversity! I am confident that you will continue to accomplish great things. You Go Girl 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1794">29:54</a> TRUST BUT VERIFY !!!!!!!!! Having been in the design and building industry for numerous years is a lesson well learned.For any future project you may undertake .You MUST!! be on site everyday!! not for the entire day but you must let the contractor and workers know and realize that you are more than interested and have a keen eye on not only them but the project. They will respect you when you are able to walk the walk and talk the talk of the building industry.

Yours is an amazing journey! So proud of you. Thank you for sharing with such detail your triumphs and misgivings. Respect!

Congratulations on such a major accomplishment! You are so inspiring and the house is gorgeous!

I am so proud of you my sistah you are living the dream. My husband and I visited Bali in 2019 and I told myself I would love to move there it’s so beautiful. 🥰😍💕

You are such an inspiration girl!

This is so amazing. Thanks for being so transparent. Absolutely love the mural.

Fellow WPOC here. This is so inspiring. Congrats on building such a beautiful home!!

Love to see this! You are truely an inspiration to have accomplished all of this at such a young age! Wishing you much success in the future!

Thank you for being so honest and staying positive after this experience.

Definitely love to hear your building journey. I'm in the US and looking to remodeling my parent's home. I have never purchased my own home, and this is a blessing in disguise. Just your knowledge in your time frame is greatly appreciated. I am also in the very beginning stages of learning the travel industry in my 50's and it doesn't bother me as much as it did in the beginning listening to motivated speakers and my daughter showed me your video and I am truly thankful to your growth and knowledge and willingness to share. Continue on your great journeys.

I'm so glad you shared all the lessons you learned the good, bad, and ugly! The same thing happened to us, where we sent money to Africa and they used it for something else. Prayerfully we will finally finish building this year. So proud of you sista! ❤️

Kudos for you for living your dream! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Your home is stunning, and I wish you all the best!

Congratulations on your accomplishments! I am excited for you and so proud of you for living your best life! Thank you for being open and sharing information with us.

I love your channel! It's so inspiring to see a woman achieve big projects like this! I hope you will share with us your other projects in Dubai!!

My my my you knocked it out the park Chidi. Beautiful home lady....you are truly an inspiration!

Congratulations again! Your new home is just beautiful! A dream come true! Blessings! I'll definitely use your travel agency when this pandemic is truly over. ❤🙏🏽

Congratulations Chidi on the successful completion of your stunningly beautiful home! Will definitely consider a vacation here.

You're very confident and you're not coming off as arrogant....that's a beautiful combination!!

This is incredible! Discovered you and this build via my cousin, and she loves you and all you've accomplished! Big ups to you!

This is so amazing, very detailed information! And your involvement in the whole process to see this through is quite inspiring. You really achieved what you envisioned 😍.

In addition to all of the above, the country is clean too, and the infrastructure is up to par. The very best to you!

Congratulations on your beautiful new home! It’s stunning and I’m so excited for you!! Thanks for sharing!!

This is so inspiring! Loved everything about this journey!

Watching this on a lunch break Love Love it. We have the agency to build a life we love. We DESERVE it! YOU deserve it

You are such an inspiration! I absolutely love your house!!!! Everything is great. My fav is pool and artwork and just overall beauty!

I so appreciate your honesty, it is refreshing and I am glad you came out on the other side. I am really interested about hearing about all the lessons

Wonderful seeing a successful woman traveling doing what she pleases and doing it herself gracefully!

Congratulations! Great to see another successful NYU Alumni! I am trying to make a move to Bali as well. Could you post a breakdown of the 458k cost of the house? I am most interested in the cost of the land, cost of the building, and how much the different contractors cost. Any details would be greatly appreciated!

Chidi, you are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story and loving your best life

Thank you for loving Bali and Indonesia. Hope you have wonderful adventure ahead in Indonesia. From Indonesian fellow here.

Also the style and aesthetic of your home is absolutely beautiful

I am proud of you Ashley. God bless you 🙏❤️. I am inspired.

Thank you so much for sharing how much your home cost! Super inspirational for me, as a young Black woman myself :)

Chidi - thanks you so much for sharing your journey of building your dream house in Bali - I’m so proud of you - so inspired by you and som unexpectedly educated by you based on your incredible entrepreneurial integrity and courage - not to mention your authenticity of a sell taught - loved the advise to - “follow your gut” - there’s much I would like express - but what a beautiful house/home you have built. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Thank you, Chidi. We currently build our home in Canggu and we learn so much from your experience. God bless and enjoy your travels!

I had a similar experience during the early stages of trying to build my dream house in Jamaica . It's difficult to stay positive and keep going when you don't have Family support and if they are the ones ripping you off.

I would definitely love a detailed video of the building process. I've purchased a land in my country and looking at starting to build next year, but there is nothing that teaches step by step process and I want to avoid losing money. Thanks again Chidi

Thank you for being open about the process and looking forward to more.

I’m proud of you and happy for you as well. Very inspirational and that’s a beautiful contemporary villa 😊

Love it! I have to compliment you on a job well done. This home is absolutely gorgeous and i would love to have the blueprint if possible

Great video thanks for sharing Chidi and being open in sharing the breakdown and insights to building your Luxury house in Bali, I’ll definitely be taking on some of your tips as we’re in the process of buying land and building in Auburi Ghana 🇬🇭 👌🏾

The house is beautiful! I’m loving your interior designing. The artwork, like the one behind you, and the roof patio is heavenly! Enjoy the space my sister ♥️✊🏾

Wow. This looks fabulous. You were so young when you started but so wise, brave and so inspiring.

You are amazing to pull this off. I really didnt think this would work out. Fortunately you had the funds to survive the setbacks.

Congratulation for your lovely house and the effort during the building process👏👏 ... your are a very positive person ...and I am proud the you are a proud black, african woman 👍👍

This is so amazing!! Congratulations Chidi, your home is stunning! 👑👏

Appreciate the transparency and honesty. Great job on your new place! Job well done 👍🏽.

you are amazing !!! i love your energy ! inspired by everything you are saying 🙌

I'm interested in a deep dive into the process, yes please 😁

Congratulations Chidi Ashley on your accomplishments! Thank you for sharing you have a beautiful 🏡!

I'm so proud of you! You're so inspiring!❤ Congratulations on all of your endeavors!🎈🎈🎈🎉🎉

Construction is an issue here in the U.S. too! My cousin had two contractors take off with her money. My husband and I just finished a two year renovation - it was suppose to be a few months back in January 2020 but the first contractor caused a fire at our place. Come to find out, he didn’t have a general license contractor but just drywall - he was recommended by my husband’s brother and we didn’t check the credentials either because we assumed he was a good contractor based on my bro-in-law’s recommendation. Big mistake - we had to hire another contractor recommended by our friends and he has been great, if not a little slow because these contractors are constantly taking on other work. But he was honest and didn’t run off with our money, so that’s all we could ask for. His work is great!

Amazing video and amazing editing as usual

Love love this!! Such an inspiration 🙏🏾❤️

Congratulations! You demonstrate that success has no color Only discipline , will and determination ! God Bless you! Blessings on your new home !

the 46k for the furniture is actually less that what I was thinking. I'm looking at an 18k cloud couch from RH and to think for little more than double that I could furnish a whole place over there with custom furniture is pretty amazing.

My plans were to move to The Gambia before the Pandemic hit. However, you have made me question that move. I'm really thinking about Bali now. Of course I'd need to come visit first to be sure. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Love your grind and perseverance!! Keep Shining!!!

You go girl!!!! I'm so proud of you!!! God bless!!!

You are sooooo inspiring sister! Would love to plan a trip with solo trips soon!

Happy Holidays! You are an impressive young entrepreneur with a bright future. You remind me of myself and my 3 sisters. I have been dealing with contractors in NYC for 30 years now, and it has not been easy. And yes, they do run away with your money even when they know they will be taking to court. I have had the same experiences in the Caribbean also. It’s a “ contractor disease.” May success be yours always! Be Powerful!

A random video pops up on my KZfaq page.. inspirational at its finest.. gratitude Goddess for sharing your journey, success and beautiful energy of manifestation with us .. we not only get to see / virtually experience the abundant moments but we can visualize as well and know we can do it too 😭👑🌻🦋🙌🏽🙌🏽😎 amazing!!!

So thrilled to see this video. Very proud and appreciate all the answers in respect to Bali.

You gooo girl :D congrats on the place, it looks gorgeous...

Chidi, I am so happy for you and I am glad you made this video and revealed all that you have revealed. For, when I first saw your interior decorator, I sensed something was amiss. Also, when you did not do a video about the finish of the house, I started to really worry about you and was to the point of attempting to contact the authorities, because I felt something had actually happened to you. I almost did, but did not know exactly who to contact. Reason, you, or I though I had seen a short video of you stating that the house was almost finished and would be seen in a couple of weeks, I think you actually gave a date, so I was waiting for it, but it never happened, so, I thought I was going crazy or senile, I am over 60, and that when I stared to believe something sinister had happened to you. Then, a couple of days or weeks later, a video of you on a trip with other ladies surfaced and though it sort of made me feel a bit easier, it did not completely dispel my fears of something happened to you. So, yes, you are a Woman, a beautiful and resourceful woman, not to forget, highly intelligent, strong, industrious, kind, ambitious, compassionate, passionate, and all-round great personality, person and successful, but, remember, you are also young and single, so, please protect yourself, be careful, be happy, and live your life to the fullest. Oh! I almost forgot, you are also AFRICAN! SO, you are like a daughter to me, I have & sons. But, I am also, a direct descendant of the first Woman on the face of the Earth, making my DNA, amongst the oldest on the face of the Earth. And I am 100% African.

Thank you for not only sharing your experience but your contacts

Congratulations!!! You're such a inspiration! Keep rocking!

Please share your experience with us on building from the ground up.

Congrats on the beautiful house. It is not a small feat. Thanks for sharing the cost and breakdown. Enjoy your hard-earned investment.

Amazing!! I am proud of you sista!!! How inspiring! May you always be blessed, and thank you for sharing!

I don’t understand why some people find or have a hard time believing that some of us out there are the epitome of independence/self-financing successful black women! yesss girl I’m here for it! Congratulations on your success👍🏽🍸

Hello Very proud of you... I'm old enough to be your mom... so good job kido! Please explore Portugal 🇵🇹 It's beautiful country and the food is amazing Super friendly and clean. Let me know if you need an interior designer... Wishing you all the best.

That mural is amazing in your office and you’re our retirement inspo!!!!
