I’m from a council house but I’ll buy my girl a £2m home to celebrate her pregnancy… I’m hiring her a designer too
A MULTIMILLIONAIRE who grew up in a council house has revealed he has plans of treating his pregnant daughter to a lavish £2million property.
Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, 53, grew up on one of the toughest streets in Manchester, the UK, but has since managed to turn his life upside down – and now will fork out an eye-watering sum to celebrate his daughter’s second pregnancy in a year.
Chatting exclusively to Fabulous, the business mogul, who is worth a staggering £200million, said that he was happy for his daughter, Saffron Drewitt-Barlow, 23.
The new mum welcomed her first-ever tot Marina in June last year and was given a posh £200,000 Range Rover as a push present.
This time around, the proud granddad shared with The Sun, the ultimate daddy’s girl can expect a posh property based in Essex worth millions.
Barrie said: ”We are thrilled – although I was hoping for a year or two before the next one.
”She is super happy,” the 53-year-old multi-millionaire said, adding that Saffron has been considering packing back and flying back to the UK.
”She wants to move back to England, so I flew home this weekend to to look for a new house for her and meet with the designers.”
He went on: ”I told her to look up £2million in Essex.”
Saffron – one of Barrie’s eight kids which he has via surrogacy – announced the wonderful news on Instagram earlier this year.
The brunette beauty, who made headlines when she and her twin brother Aspen became the first children in the UK to be registered as having two fathers and no mother, posted a snap of the ultrasound next to a stunning cake.
”Baby no 2 ,” the 23-year-old wrote in the caption, as fans raced to congratulate her.
Barrie previously revealed that he gifted baby Marina a £1million house, which they will rent out to give the youngster an income.
The youngster has also received a £5million trust fund from Barrie’s ex-hubby Tony – but the multi-millionaires didn’t stop there.
Barrie said: “We spent thousands on clothes and nursery items, but this is my first granddaughter and I want her to have everything.
“Everything was bought from Harrods in London and shipped over to Miami Beach.
“Nothing was too much money or trouble. And it never will be.”
According to the business tycoon, Marina was also treated to a lavish £5,000 Dior pram and pushchair from Saffron’s brother Aspen.
Saffron and her husband Conor, who tied the knot in Vegas in May, are currently living in Barrie’s £18million Miami beach house with their tot.
Dad-of-eight Barrie explained that Saffron wanted to give birth in the USA so that her daughter would have an American citizenship, like she does.
