I’m not spoiled, says 11-year-old whose father spends £1,000 on her a month
FROM a Longchamp handbag to new Prada shoes, her wardrobe is enviably stocked with designer clothes and accessories.
And although Lili-Rae Izatt-Port is just 11, her parents shell out £1,000 a month on her lavish lifestyle, which includes weekly golf lessons and the latest designer garments.
Her favourite brands include French designer Chloe, and if she has mastered a language or excels at an instrument by the time she turns 16, her stockbroker father has promised her a £10,000 cheque.
But Lili-Rae – who fills her days with golf, ballet, dance and French lessons – insists she is not spoilt, ‘just lucky’.
Lili-Rae, from Romford, Essex said: ‘I have loads of clothes, some that I buy and don’t even wear. I just don’t have enough time to wear everything.
‘I’ve got a different activity to go to every night – I do ballet, tap, street dance, swimming, football and golf, as well as playing the violin and learning French. But it’s not tiring, it’s fun.’
Despite still being at primary school, she already dreams of a successful career ahead and the hefty salary that will come with it. She said: ‘I want to be successful when I grow up – maybe have my own clothing range or be a stockbroker like my dad.’
But she insists: ‘ I’m just a normal kid.’ And although some might regard her father Bobbie Port, 31, and mother Carley Izatt, 33, as pushy, Lili-Rae – who has recently been signed by a modelling agency – says she drives her own busy schedule. She claimed: ‘My parents don’t push me. They just want me to do well for myself and be successful, and that’s what I want too. I know how lucky I am.’
Lili-Rae, who recently appeared in a Channel 5 documentary, Britain’s Pushiest Parents, believes her parents and stepmother Leanne have taught her that ‘if you work hard, you can do well for yourself’. Her mother, Mrs Izatt, said: ‘She likes the finer things in life – something she’s probably inherited from me and her dad.
‘She’s very lucky but she knows it, she’s very grounded and polite and certainly not a spoilt brat.’
Her father Mr Port said: ‘I look at her as an investment. I always want her to achieve the best she can. She goes to school in Prada shoes with a Longchamp bag. She is my little girl and I only want to give her the best.’
