An 11-year-old millionaire is candid about her lifestyle of lavish gifts, fancy events and being transported by nannies in luxury cars.
Pixie Curtis, from Sydney, made her fortune as the face of the Pixie’s Bows range of accessories and Pixie’s Pix toy brand – businesses founded by her mother Roxy Jacenko.
She has already “semi-retired” from her toy empire to focus on her education.
Speak against News.com.au on Wednesday, Pixie opened up about her day-to-day life, as well as some of the more extravagant trappings of being so wealthy at such a young age.
She talked about receiving a $3,000 Goyard handbag for Christmas from her parents, and saving up for a Range Rover for when she’s old enough to drive.

Pixie, who is not only the face of merchandise but also a mini influencer, already owns a $267,000 Mercedes-Benz GLS, which her nannies use for the school run.
She also has no qualms about admitting that she’s a “fake baby” who wouldn’t have had the same success without her ambitious mother..
“My parents gave me a lot of chances, so I think I’m a fake baby,” Pixie said.
“The Goyard bag my parents gave me for Christmas was really cool and pretty pricey. I put it on my list, but I didn’t think I’d really make it.’

She added, “All the money I made from my toy business was reinvested or put into savings. I’m not allowed to use it.’
Pixie said her father Oliver Curtis, who served a year in prison for insider trading, puts money in her Spriggy account – a pocket money app for kids – for when she goes out with her friends.
Elsewhere in the interview, Pixie described herself as a “night owl” who goes to bed at 11 p.m. and is a “nightmare” in the morning.
She also maintains an active social life and has been known to get a spray tan with her mother on Thursday nights when they have a big weekend ahead of them.

Pixie urged her friends “not to think I’m different from anyone else,” despite having a bank balance most adults can only dream of.
But one thing that sets her apart from most kids her age is her entrepreneurial spirit.
“I love coming up with ideas to make money. My friends and I even started making bracelets and selling them to our friends. I like doing things like that,” she said.

Pixie insisted that she is just like any other kid in most ways and is a fussy eater when it comes to her school lunch box – much to her mother’s chagrin.
In February, Roxy announced that her daughter was “semi-retiring” from her online toy empire to focus on school.
The PR guru, 43, said that while Pixie’s fidget toy brand was once raking in $200,000 a month, she’s decided it’s time to “refocus” her priorities.

“Pixie has decided to hang up her online toy store shoes to focus on her upcoming entry into high school,” she told News.com.au at the time.
“Over the past few months, we’ve been discussing business plans for the future as a family and decided it was time to refocus with high school just around the corner.”
The mother-of-two said her daughter’s fidget spinner store and accessory label Pixie’s Bows will not close, but will scale back operations so Pixie can focus on her education.
Roxy previously said her daughter’s savvy entrepreneurial skills would give her a future for life and predicted she would retire in her teens.

‘Don’t worry; you can retire at 15,” she told her daughter in a joint interview in Stellar magazine in December.
The founder of Ministry of Talent went on to say that Pixie is a natural businesswoman.
“You know, what’s most exciting to me is the entrepreneurial spirit she has at such a young age,” she told the publication.
“So I think the most important thing to me is her drive as an entrepreneur. Yes, I turned it on, but she still has it, which is the most rewarding part for me.”
In May last year, Pixie’s line of fidget toys generated $200,000 in revenue in their first month of sales in Australia.
Roxy shares two children, Pixie and son Hunter, eight, with husband Oliver Curtis.
