Pixie Curtis, 12-Year-Old Millionaire, Makes Comeback in Business World After Retiring at Age 11

In February 2023, Pixie Curtis took a break to focus on her education, effectively “semi-retiring.” There were hints that she might retire at the age of 15. Surprising everyone, she recently made a comeback by endorsing brand deals and promoting phone accessories on Instagram. This includes a post advertising a dual-sided suction phone accessory with a playful message, “You can thank me later.”

Her mother also posted the same product on her account. Previously, the mother-daughter team gained fame with the launch of their toy business, Pixie’s Fidgets, in May 2021. Despite their success, reports indicated that business commitments led to tensions between them. Ms. Curtis had expressed feeling “worn out” and admitted to being “happy to focus on her school work and have some time out.”

Her return to work may be attributed to her current lifestyle. During her retirement, she had set her sights on expanding her luxury car collection to include a Range Rover, despite being years away from reaching the legal driving age, as reported by The Sun. Additionally, the family, including Pixie’s 10-year-old brother Hunter and businessman father Oliver Curtis, relocated from Sydney, Australia to Singapore last year, prompting Ms. Jacenko to sell off several of her businesses. Before their departure, Pixie celebrated her birthday with a lavish bash, themed as a “farewell Australia party,” in July of last year.

The celebration took place at the Crown Towers hotel in Sydney, where the 12-year-old stayed in a £1000-a-night (₹55,016) suite with her girlfriends.
