An eleven-year-old entrepreneur is turning heads as she’s on track to retire by sixteen, thanks to her multimillion-dollar businesses and online content creation, despite facing criticism for her lavish spending habits.
Pixie Curtis is a budding entrepreneur, poised to retire by her sixteenth birthday, thanks to her multimillion-dollar businesses selling fidget spinners, hair accessories, and her recent venture into online content creation, where she shares her shopping hauls featuring cosmetics, designer fashion items, and luxury goods.
In one of Pixie’s viral videos, the young business mogul showcases her Sunday shopping spree, revealing expensive beauty items like a “lip injection” plumping gloss and a nearly twenty-dollar bronzing stick, along with a new pair of chestnut-colored Ugg boots. However, some viewers questioned the necessity of such pricey products for an eleven-year-old.
Critics expressed their concerns in the comments, with one person stating, “Way too spoilt. She’s a kid. Why does she need makeup?” Another viewer commented on the potential long-term effects of using such beauty products at a young age, while another urged Pixie to appreciate what she has and acknowledge less fortunate children who might desire some of the items she possesses.
In 2021, Pixie’s mother, successful public relations mogul Roxy Jacenko, revealed that her daughter’s earnings from her businesses, Pixie’s Bows and toy company Pixie’s Fidgets, would allow her to retire at fifteen if she so desired. With estimates suggesting Pixie could earn about twenty-one million dollars over the next decade, she is well on her way to financial independence before even graduating high school.
During a joint interview with Pixie for Stellar Magazine in 2021, Roxy praised her daughter’s entrepreneurial spirit, saying, “You won’t need to worry; you can retire at 15 the way you’re going.” In May 2021, Pixie’s fidget toy line debuted in Australia, selling out and earning an impressive $200,000. However, this wasn’t her first business venture, as her box company had been in operation since 2018. With department store Myer stocking her bow company, Pixie was already estimated to be worth as much as $21 million by the time she turned 18.
Roxy expressed her pride in Pixie’s drive and entrepreneurial spirit in their Stellar Magazine interview, stating, “You know, what is the most exciting for me is the entrepreneurial spirit that she has at such a young age. I never had it, although it was drummed into me that I had to succeed.” Roxy reflects on her own experience working at McDonald’s at 14, emphasizing how rewarding it is to see her daughter’s success and ambition at such a young age.
As Pixie Curtis continues to build her empire and inspire others with her story, it’s clear that this eleven-year-old entrepreneur is a force to be reckoned with, demonstrating that age is no barrier to success and hard work. However, as her shopping hauls continue to spark debate, it’s essential for Pixie and her family to consider the impact of her actions and the message she sends to her young audience.
