An 11-year-old girl is already more wealthy than a lot of people ever will be - as she 'retired' before she was a teenager, after allegedly earning £110k a month.

Pixie Curtis isn't your average schoolgirl as she's already set up several businesses and owned a £43,000 Mercedes Benz before she could even drive - with a little help from her PR guru mum Roxy Jacenko.

She may have 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.

Roxy, from Australia, recently announced that Pixie was going to retire and focus on her education - and it turns out she'll have plenty to entertain herself with in her downtime.

Here, we've taken a look inside the life of young business mogul Pixie - including her flashy car collection.

What do you think about Pixie's business acumen? Let us know in the comments...

Pixie's journey into the limelight began when she was just two-years-old, when she became crowned the '

'

She was pictured trying on expensive jewellery, drinking orange juice by the pool, and relaxing on a plane - as well as posing in a number of different outfits.

Then when she was 10, her mum, Roxy, ended up in hot water after buying her lavish gifts including a £193,000 fleet of cars including a Mercedes Benz.

Other parents commented on Roxy's social media posts, saying that Pixie was too young to live in such a way - even if she could 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"

One comment reads: "How old are you?"

Then another said: "They look great on an adult's hand."

And a third wrote: "Look weird on a 10-year-old."

But that wasn't the only time Pixie's wealth caused a stir, as previously Roxy's parenting style has been questioned after she revealed that she had spent nearly £200,000 on cars for her children - including a £43,000 Mercedes.

Speaking to News.com.au, Roxy said she bought the expensive car for her daughter due to its impressive safety specs.

She said: "It's of utmost importance to me that both she and her brother Hunter travel safely on the roads when going to and from school so I purchased a car for her.

"Obviously she doesn't drive it, she is driven in it as is her brother to and from school and for any activities.

"Given the number of fatalities on our roads their safety is so important so if it means buying a car that has extra safety features that's what I'll do."

Roxy shares Pixie with husband Oliver Curtis, and the couple are also parents to six-year-old Hunter, and they live in a $6.6million (£3.6m) mansion in Sydney, Australia.

It wasn't just her mum's money that Roxy had been spending, as she allegedly earned a fortune through her accessory brand, Pixie's Bows.

But even though the business was said to be bringing in six figures a month, Pixie decided to focus on her education so she 'retired' from work.

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."

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 seems to run in the family too, as roxy owns a number of successful communications businesses.
