Child millionaire who retired at 11 reveals that she’s gone back to work… and tells fans ‘you can thank me later
CHILD millionaire Pixie Curtis is back working again after declaring her retirement at the beginning of last year to “focus on school work”.
The 12-year-old shot to fame as a preschooler through her multiple businesses and Instagram presence – all of which were managed by her mum, PR guru Roxy Jacenko.
Roxy, founder of PR firm Sweaty Betty, previously commented that her little girl could “retire at 15” if she wanted to thanks to her mammoth success online and as a CEO.
But after spending most of her childhood hustling in the limelight, Pixie took a step back from working at the start of 2023.
After just one year out of the game, it seems she is back working again.
The pre-teen has taken on brand deals and is promoting phone accessories to her 176,000 followers on Instagram.
“You can thank me later,” she penned in the caption.
“This double sided suction thingy is so good cause I can take it on and off for when I need it, and off when I don’t.”

The mum-and-daughter duo launched toy business Pixie’s Fidgets in May 2021 – and in the first 48 hours, they had completely sold out.
The company reportedly turned over £105,000 in its first month.
Hair accessory business Pixie’s Bows is as old as the CEO herself after Roxy established the brand in her daughter’s name when she was just a baby.
But the business schedule caused conflict between the pair, with Roxy allegedly getting annoyed if Pixie didn’t want to create content after school.
The young millionaire divulged that she was “worn out” juggling so many plates and was “happy to focus on her school work and have some time out”.
During her retirement, she was eyeing up adding a Range Rover to her luxury car collection, despite being years off the legal driving age.
Her family, including 10-year-old brother Hunter and businessman dad Oliver Curits, upped sticks from their native Sydney, Australia and moved to Singapore last year.
They relocated due to Oliver’s work, with Roxy selling off a number of her businesses in the months leading up to the move.
Pixie threw herself a birthday bash tied up as a “farewell Australia party” before the move in July last year.
She stayed in a £1000-a-night suite at Crown Towers hotel in Sydney and treated her girlfriends to rooms so they could have a “staycation” together before she left.
