Girl who 'makes €125k a month selling toys retires at 11 years old'

A young girl who has been making around €125,000 every month by selling toys is ready to retire.

Pixie Curtis, who is just 11 years old said shes looking forward to having some time to put her feet up and focus on herself.

Ms. Curtis isn't your average schoolgirl, she has already allegedly earned herself a fortune before she even became a teenager through her accessory brand, Pixie's Bows.

Pixie is the daughter of PR guru Roxy Jacenko, was given a hand on the way but she's grafted too, according to her mum.

She launched a fidget spinner business that she claims brought in €125,000 in a single month.

But now Pixie, who lives in Australia, is turning her attention away from business and hanging up her entrepreneurial hat because she wants to focus on her education instead.

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, as well as a €4 million mansion in Sydney.

Previously, we reported how Roxy had sparked debate after buying her 10-year-old daughter lavish gifts including a €219,000 fleet of cars including a €48,000 Mercedes Benz.

Parents were flocking to the comment section 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 let her know their opinions.

She captioned the image: "Lucky Dad lives in Tassie and @roxyjacenko is in charge. How cool are my nails - thank you @cjartistrygirls."
