‘Cash and bitcoin’: ‘Rich kid’s’ insane birthday gift commands

A self-described “rich kid” has revealed how she spent $20k on herself for her birthday because she doesn’t trust others to buy her gifts.

A rich kid has revealed how she spent $A20,731 (£11,000) on herself for her birthday because she doesn’t trust others to buy her gifts.

Lailli Mirza, who lives in Dubai, showcases her glamorous life with her 326,000 strong YouTube following, The Sun reports.

In a recent video, she revealed that she had treated herself to thousands of pounds worth of clothes and shows at a total of $20,526, made up of just 12 items.

Though Lailli admits that shopping no longer gives her the thrill of it once did.

“I’m kind of growing out of this because I shop so frequently so it’s no longer that exciting,” she explained in her video.

“I did actually ask for cash and bitcoin for my birthday specifically, I wrote it on the fridge cash and bitcoin only – no boxed gifts.”

Lailli’s mum did go against her wishes, however, and gifted her a $12,000 necklace and $8106 earrings, both by the brand Van Cleef & Arpels.

Though Lailli admits she is not as big of a fan as she once was.

“I’m drifting away from the ‘classic’ Van Cleef pieces which are becoming the most ‘basic’ Van Cleef pieces,” she said.

“I’m sorry if this offends you but let’s face it, everyone and their mother and their dogs are wearing Van Cleef Alhambras it’s getting a bit much.”

When it came to shopping for herself, Lailli has no trouble splashing the cash.

First of all she picked up a Bottega Veneta Mini Jodie bag in green shearling for $3488, though admitted she won’t really use but says her dog and cat love to sit on it.

Next up she bagged herself a $1348 pair of velvet trousers and a lace corset $1678, both from Gucci, followed by a $1225 pair of Jimmy Choo heels.

When Harrods called her personally to let her know they had a new pair of Amina Muaddi boots in, she was quick to snap them up, even with an eye-watering price tag of $2319.

While there she bagged a second pair of shoes from the brand at $1762 despite the fact she considered the manufacturing “sloppy”.

As she was having a “jeans moment”, Lailli picked up a $923 Margiela pair followed by Vetements jeans at an eye watering $1872.

Her penultimate stop was Chanel where she spent a small fortune on a mini skirt, $2470 and a matching crop top for $1357, and bought a pair of trainers for $1508 – despite owning five other nearly identical pairs.

Finally she added a little bling to her iPhone 13 Pro Max with a $578 diamond-encrusted case by Nuclieus.
