Millionaire aged 12, yacht holidays in Italy and hotels in Paris for £5,000 a night
PIXIE Curtis made so much money as a child entrepreneur that she was able to retire last year at the age of 11.
These days, the pre-teen spends her days on luxury vacations in the Maldives, Italy, France and Vietnam, and has already collected seven stamps in her passport this year.
Pixie, 12, rose to fame as a child through her fidget spinner and hair bow businesses, as well as her social media presence, all thanks to her mother’s efforts.
She is the daughter of PR guru Roxy Jacenko, who founded the brands before Pixie could even walk.
Roxy once said that her daughter could “retire at 15” if she wanted to.
But Pixie decided to end her entrepreneurial adventure last year after she noticed it was causing a rift between her and her mother and affecting her concentration at school.
Thanks to the wealth she amassed in the first decade of her life, she can now spend her time traveling the world… when she’s not in school.
In July last year, Pixie, originally from Sydney, Australia, enrolled in a new school in Singapore after moving there with her businessman mother and father Oliver Curtis and 10-year-old brother Hunter.
The Curtis-Jacenko family relocated for Oliver’s work, while Roxy sold a number of her businesses and luxury cars in the run-up to the move.
Pixie has been on seven trips since Christmas (that we know of).
The famous pre-teen spent the Christmas period in the French Alps before flying to Thailand to ring in the New Year.
In February, she flew to Vietnam and stayed at the Four Seasons Resort in Hoi An with her mother, brother and boyfriend.
A three-bedroom villa with a pool on the beach at the hotel, which sleeps four, costs a whopping £3,764 per night.
In April, Pixie flew back to her native Australia for a wedding.
In June she headed to the Maldives to stay in a villa at the five-star Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi resort, where she paid £1,850 a night.
Pixie is currently touring Europe with her family.
How Did Pixie Curtis Make Millions?
Pixie Curtis began her entrepreneurial journey as a toddler thanks to the support and guidance of her PR guru mother, Roxy Jacenko.
One of her first ventures was Pixie’s Bows, a company that sells hair accessories for children. It is as old as the CEO herself, after Roxy founded the brand under her daughter’s name when she was just a baby.
She later founded Pixie’s Fidgets, which capitalised on the fidget spinner trend in 2021. The business reportedly made a turnover of £105,000 in its first month.
Pixie also produces sponsored content and ads for social media, which experts estimate can earn her more than £6,000 per post.
Until now she has been staying at the Le Bristol Paris hotel, where rooms cost up to £5,000 a night.
She was recently on a yacht off the coast of Sardinia, Italy.
Alongside videos of her jumping off the luxury boat, Pixie wrote: “Italy, I have arrived.
“The most crystal clear blue water ever.”
