While some of us can’t comprehend the concept of being able to purchase a car in this economy, this 12-year-old millionaire influencer bought a Range Rover in Singapore.
The self-proclaimed retiree just moved to Singapore from Australia.
While the average 12-year-old in Singapore is busy studying for PSLE, this 12-year-old has other concerns.
12YO Millionaire Bought a Range Rover
The millionaire and social media influencer, Pixie Curtis, posted a photo on Instagram of herself in a Range Rover on 6 August.
The post was captioned, “New car game strong – pre-delivery viewing with @roxyjacenko @landroversg #rangerovervogue #firstedition.”
If you didn’t already know, Range Rovers are atas cars.
The brand’s official website states that Range Rovers sell from approximately $615,000.
The hefty sum doesn’t include the money needed for a Certificate of Entitlement, infamous for its ever-increasing prices.
The best part? Curtis is far from the legal driving age in Singapore.
The minimum age to drive and get a Qualified Driving Licence (QDL) in Singapore is 18.
Needless to say, this luxury purchase seems a little premature.
Who is Pixie Curtis?
Curtis is a young entrepreneur whose net worth is estimated to be more than $12,000,000.
She founded Pixie’s Fidgets in 2021 with her mother, Roxy Jacenko.
Jacenko is the founder of the Sweaty Betty PR firm and has an estimated net worth of $20,000,000 (SGD).
Pixie’s Fidgets designed and sold fidget toys.
Fidgets are small objects that can be squeezed, pulled or moved around to help a child’s attention span.
They also help a child to calm down when overwhelmed.
On 30 July, the pre-teen posted photos of her luxurious farewell party on her Instagram page.
She has over 140,000 followers on the social media platform.
The party was held at Sydney’s Crown Hotel, a five-star establishment.
It had an oriental, red theme to celebrate her birthday, her retirement from Pixie’s Fidgets and her relocation to Singapore.
One post was captioned, “The night that was. 12 and Farewell Australia AU – Singapore SG, we are coming for you!”
The decision to relocate was due to the desire of the family to live with Jacenko’s husband, Oliver Curtis, in Singapore.
He currently works in Asia.
Notably, he spent a year in prison between 2016 and 2017 for insider trading in New South Wales.
Pixie and her nine-year-old brother will reportedly attend an international school in Singapore.
The family has reportedly rented a luxury apartment in the Orchard area.
Mixed Opinions
Netizens had mixed opinions on Curtis’ lavish party.
Some questioned the theme of the party.
After all, Singapore is a multi-racial country.
However, some netizens sent Curtis their well wishes.
As for her luxury purchase, netizens had conflicting feelings.
While some felt that the money could have been used to improve the lives of others, others admired her success.
At the time of writing, comments have been turned off on the original Instagram post.
Trouble Getting Used to Singapore’s Weather
On 8 August, Curtis posted a photo of her in a swimming pool.
She captioned, “Tennis lesson finished up like this. Air-conditioned court required – OH MY Goodness, that was so hot.”
It seems like the 12-year-old needs some time to get used to the hot Singapore weather.
Curtis’ mother posted a quick glimpse into the family’s new home in Singapore four weeks ago on the social media app Threads.
She wrote, “Quick tour of our new home in Singapore with the kids.”
The photo appears to be the home’s exterior, with a driveway leading to the lobby of the luxury apartment block the family will stay in.
The picture shows a large pumpkin sculpture resembling one of Yayoi Kusama’s most famous artworks.
Kusama is a Japanese artist who often uses polka dots and pumpkin motifs in her works.
Previously, she said that she liked pumpkins because of their “charming and winsome form, their generous unpretentiousness and solid spiritual base.”
Perhaps these are the ideals the family wants to embody in this new chapter of their lives.
