I started my side-hustle from my bedroom – now I’m worth £1.5m at 17 and live my best life on yachts
MANY people dream of living the millionaire lifestyle and holidaying on luxury yachts – but that is the reality already for one successful teenager.
Isabella Barrett is worth a staggering £1.5m thanks to her side hustle businesses, and she’s just 17 years old.

You may remember Isabella – or Bella to her friends – from the TLC show Toddlers and Tiaras, but she’s now an entrepreneur too.
Alongside winning 55 pageant crowns and 85 titles she rakes in millions of dollars each year through modelling and top brand endorsements.
But a major part of her success has been her side hustle businesses.
After taking off her tiara, Bella unveiled her own jewellery line called Glitzy Girl and became one of the youngest self-made millionaires in America.
She later launched her first independent fashion line in 2021, debuting her work on the runway of September’s New York Fashion Week.
Speaking to Fabulous, she said: “People have no idea how hard I work. It’s a tough job as I’ve got four websites – House of Barretti, NYFW Merch, Bella Barretti and Bella Barrett.
“Last time I checked, my net worth was several million dollars – but my mum says I’m priceless.”
But she claimed her life wasn’t one long walk in the park, explaining how not every business venture she had was successful.
A teddy bear business flopped, she said.
She told Truly: “I have a jewellery line that made me a million dollars, I had a clothing line that made me a million dollars.
“But I still hang out with my friends, we go jet-skiing.”
On average, she earns at least $10,000 (£7,800) a month. But during fashion week, she’ll earn $30,000 (£23,000) in just seven days.
She revealed she had recently got her own cheque book – splashing out on a party which cost £69k.
“Being a self-made millionaire has opened so many doors for me… but as long as I’m having fun that’s all that matters,” she added.
In a recent clip, Bella showed herself doing photoshoots and having fun with friends on a yacht.
She wrote: “Summer is here ! Here’s to living my best life after working hard all winter .. Bring on the sun & fun.”
Bella also splashes out a fortune on her beauty glam squad, and revealed: “Most days I’ll pay $350 (£274) to get my make-up done, ready for online meetings or any content I have to film.
“I have two favourite make-up artists – one in New York and one in LA.
“I’ve got a $20,000 (£15,000) jet ski and I love my sneaker collection, which is worth about $100,000 (£78,000).
As a fashion designer I own an obscene amount of clothing. I have whole rooms in my properties filled with clothes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“Chanel is my absolute favourite – I’m obsessed with their suits. They inspired my clothing company House of Barretti.
“Then there’s my handbag collection, which must be worth at least $100,000 (£78,000). I have tons of Louis Vuitton pieces, but Gucci is my number one designer.
“The worst slurs I get are ‘why so much make-up’ or ‘stop the fake tan’, but it doesn’t bother me anymore. What can people say? I’m young and successful and I’ve done it all by myself.
“I come from a long line of entrepreneurs.
“My dad’s a successful business owner and my mum became a millionaire with her company Park Avenue Puppies.
“She gave up so much to travel with me and chase my dreams.
“As for my goal, I want to become a billionaire and build companies I love to run. But right now, I’m having the best time in the fashion world!”
