Schoolgirl who 'makes £110k a month selling toys retires at 11 years old'
An 11-year-old girl who allegedly made £110k a month selling toys is ready to retire - and says she's looking forward to putting her feet up and focussing on herself for a while.
Pixie Curtis isn't your average schoolgirl - as before she became a teenager she had allegedly earned a fortune through her accessory brand, Pixie's Bows.
The daughter of PR guru Roxy Jacenko, Pixie had a helping hand on the way but she's grafted too, as recently she launched a fidget spinner business that she claims brought in £110,000 in a single month.
But now Pixie, from Australia, is turning her attention away from business and hanging up her entrepreneurial hat, as she wants to focus on her education instead.
Pixie doesn't need to work any more, so she's starting school instead (roxyjacenko/Instagram)What do you think about Pixie's business acumen? Let us know in the comments...

Speaking to news.com.au, Roxy said: "Pixie has decided to hang her online toy store shoes up to focus on her impending entry into high school...
"In short, over the past few months, we have been discussing the business plans going forward as a family and decided that while it has been an amazing journey starting some three years ago, it was time to refocus with high school just around the corner.
"While the Pixie's Pix online store will remain, it will go back to how it began in 2011 – as the best destination for children's hair accessories and hair bows known as Pixie's Bows – something that we will continue to manage together but with a lot less time/pressure for Pixie."
Pixie Curtis and Roxy Jacenko make a good pair (roxyjacenko/Instagram)Roxy said that what excites her most about Pixie's success is "the entrepreneurial spirit that she has at such a young age".
Having a keen eye on business certainly runs in the family too.
Roxy owns a number of successful communications businesses, as well as a £3.6million mansion in Sydney.
Previously, we reported how Roxy had sparked debate after buying her 10-year-old daughter lavish gifts including a £193,000 fleet of cars including a £43,000 Mercedes Benz.
Parents commented on Roxy's social media posts, saying that Pixie is too young to live in such a way - even if she can afford it.
In one Instagram post, Roxy shared a picture of Pixie's nails and other parents were quick to comment their opinions.
She captioned the image: "Lucky Dad lives in Tassie and @roxyjacenko is in charge. How cool are my nails - thank you @cjartistrygirls."
