Isabella Barrett is a 6-year-old millionaire.__ The former Toddlers & Tiaras star has made her fortune from beauty pageants, TV appearances, and her own jewelery and makeup line. Impressive,no? Go ahead and be impressed, not every 6-year-old has accomplished so much in their short life. You know what else most people in general don't get to do? Most human beings on this planet don't get to live the lavish lifestyle of this 6-year-old gazillionaire.
Oh boy, cue the temper tantrums and unreasonable requests! Here's what mini-mogul Isabella Barrett has to say about her wealth and lifestyle:

"What's not to like about being a millionaire? I'm a superstar, I have my own jewelery line and I just love being the boss. I never lose at anything and almost every pageant I enter, I win. But what I love more than anything is shoes. I have over 60 pairs."
I mean, she's totally right. Why wouldn't a 6-year-old love being the rich boss who never loses at anything and has more shoes than most grown women? Still one hopes that for the good of the child and future adult that she will become that there is a parent or caregiver guiding her and teaching her limits, restraint, modesty, and exposing her to the much wider world where most children aren't millionaires and don't always get what they want.
Enter Isabella's mother, Susanna who co-owns the jewelery line with her daughter and entered the child in her first beauty pageant. Susanna has stated to the U.K.'s Mirror that she doesn't want her daughter to grow up spoiled. "She can go a little crazy though and once ordered $2,200 worth of food," the mom confessed. "It's never cheeseburgers and fries, always the most expensive like filet mignon and lobster. I know it seems pompous, but to us it's just funny and part of her personality."
Aww, aren't excessiveness and wastefulness cute personality traits to have? Adorable … NOT! Listen, I'm not saying that mother and daughter don't work hard and that they don't deserve to enjoy the benefits of all their efforts. I don't expect them to live like someone making minimum wage, but how is a child supposed to learn any perspective if the parent doesn't have any? Let's have that child visit a country where the kids have no shoes, she can certainly afford the trip there–and then maybe in addition to having over 60 pairs of shoes for herself, she will feel compelled to donate 60 pairs to children in need.
I mean who knows, maybe Isabella and her mother already give lots to charity, perhaps we could have the child talk about those accomplishments too, so that we don't get the idea that all she cares about is herself and being in charge.
