The Story in Brief
Mohuya Khan, a 27-year-old content creator and fashion designer living in Astoria, Queens, earned about $130,000 in gross revenue in 2025 from nine separate income streams. After business expenses and taxes, her take-home pay was about $70,000, according to financial details she shared with Business Insider. Khan, whose parents are Bangladeshi immigrants, started posting artwork online during the pandemic and later left her education career to launch her own fashion brand, Labyrinthave. She told Business Insider that managing multiple income sources while working long hours pushed her close to burnout. She now shares a $3,000 monthly rent with her husband and helps her parents with their mortgage.
The Indian Opinion
Social media often paints the 'side hustle' life as effortless success. Mohuya Khan's story is a corrective: nine streams, $130,000 gross, yet she was close to physical exhaustion. The narrative that anyone can quit their job and thrive on passion ignores the savings buffer and mental toll she describes. Hustle culture may generate revenue, but it also demands constant boundaries. Watch whether the current $70,000 take-home proves sustainable, or if the 27-year-old eventually consolidates into fewer, healthier streams.
