Schoolgirl 'retires' at 11-years-old after 'making £110k a month selling toys'

A schoolgirl who allegedly made £110k a month selling toys is ready to retire at just 11-years-old.

Pixie Curtis says she's looking forward to putting her feet up and focussing on herself for a while after allegedly earning a fortune through her accessory brand, Pixie's Bows. Pixie, who is the daughter of PR guru Roxy Jacenko, had a helping hand on the way - but she's grafted too.

As reported by the Mirror, she recently 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.

She's hanging up her entrepreneurial hat, as 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 certainly runs in the family too.

Roxy owns a number of successful communications businesses, as well as a £3.6million mansion in Sydney. Previously, 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.

Roxy shared a picture in one Instagram post 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."
