“Why live a frugal life?”
This 14-year-old has a phone case that costs $70 USD, and it might just be the cheapest thing she owns.
From wearing designer brands to attending overseas schools, Angela Wang Shiling is living a lifestyle many people can only dream of.
As the only child of Li Xiang, a TV presenter and actress in China, Angela was born into wealth. More than 8 million followers on Weibo check in to see the photos she posts about her far-from-everyday lifestyle.
In this photo alone, Angela is wearing approximately $7,300 USD. According to the news portal Baidu, her coat cost around $3,500 USD, her skirt cost $2,000 USD, and her purse cost $1,800 USD. It’s not uncommon for this teen to be seen wearing clothing and accessories that cost thousands of dollars each.
Li Xiang follows a Chinese proverb that says daughters should be raised in abundance while sons are raised frugally. As such, she has no problem giving her daughter approximately $20,000 USD in allowance every month.
We are not short of money. Why live a frugal life? If she likes it, I will buy it. there’s no need for us to save money.
— Li Xiang
Not everyone, however, is a fan of her parenting style, and Angela’s expensive styling has drawn mixed reactions from netizens.
- “I think those clothes do not fit her. They make her look much older.”
- “Wang Shiling is the girl I envy most. I hope to be Li Xiang’s daughter in my next life.”
- “It’s a storm in a teacup. They are super-rich. Those expenses are just a tiny proportion of their income.”
