Rich Kid of Instagram angers This Morning viewers after bragging about her pampered lifestyle
Julia Stakhiva, a 23-year-old Russian socialite, spends her life partying and shopping
A RICH Kid of Instagram has angered This Morning viewers after bragging about her extremely pampered lifestyle.
Julia Stakhiva, a 23-year-old Russian socialite, told presenters Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford that she is “too beautiful” to work and therefore spends her life partying.
The model-like blonde, whose parents own a multi-million pound food production company, said she didn’t know how wealthy or beautiful she was while growing up.
"I never felt like I was special. I couldn't understand why people were looking at me but then I realised it was because I have beautiful clothes and shoes," she said.
Julia, who owns designer clothes worth an estimated £2 million and over 100 handbags costing around £4,000 each, found fame after sharing snaps of her privileged life online.
She has racked up over 40,000 fans.
Eamonn made things slightly awkward when he said that a lot of her followers are probably "haters" – but Julia agreed that half of them probably are.
“I have people who hate me, who blame me for being rich, but how can they blame me if I didn’t choose this life. I was born into it,” she said.
Despite her controversial claims, fashion student Julia said she’s not work-shy and plans to take over the family business in the future.
“I'm the only child. I have to maintain what my father achieved," she said.
"There is a lot of pressure because my parents expect me to achieve more than they did.
"They expect me to be beautiful and smart and educated."
Viewers rushed to Twitter to slam her daytime TV interview.
"Curse of being rich? Give it all up to charity if it's that terrible. Selfish b***," one tweeted.
"Must be awful, these families going to food banks and kids going hungry don't know how good they have it," another posted.
While a third ranted: "I thought the show was about real people."
Julia, who appeared on the Channel 4 programme ‘The Rich Kids of Instagram’, which followed the lives of affluent youngsters, failed to win viewers round after revealing her beauty regime.
She admitted she jets to Moscow six times a year just to get her haircut.
When Ruth asked why she didn’t just get her tresses cut in London, Julia replied: “It’s just someone that I’m used to, someone I really like and I get a really good service when I go there.
“The whole place is closed down for me, they order my favourite food and they bring my favourite champagne and my girlfriends over and we just have a little party.”
Julia also spends £30,00 a year on beauty procedures including semi-permanent make-up, fillers and brow lifts.
