'I could never date someone who is poor. That

Most twentysomethings have long
been dropped from their parents' pocket money payroll.
But one - who some are calling
the most spoiled woman in Britain - still receives a massive £10,000 payout
each month from her mother - and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Gina Rio, 23, who lives in a
suite at the five star Savoy hotel despite owning a house in London's King's
Cross, is handed the money by her mother, Teresa, who took over the monthly
payments after Gina fell out with her father in 2003 and he stopped the £20,000
allowance he used to provide.
Gina, whose parents split when
she was aged 14 after her father had an affair, spends the generous allowance
living the life of a princess.
She shops at designer stores,
naming Louis Vuitton, Lanvin and Christian Louboutin as some of her favourite
shops, and she eats lavish meals
at London's finest restaurants, claiming on Twitter that she plans to dine
exclusively at Michelin-starred establishments.
And she buys more designer goods
than she could wear in a lifetime, including over 300 pairs of designer shoes
and 70 designer handbags, one of which, a Hermes bag that she ordered her
father to buy after she discovered he had bought a similar one for his
mistress, cost £20,000.
She also spends an extravagant
amount on being chauffeured around in private cars and taxis, the bill for
which can exceed a staggering £1,000 a month, and pampers herself in the
hairdresser on a regular basis - often spending £600 each month to keep her
locks glossy.
Her father, who owns a successful
construction company, spent £10,000 on a 16th birthday party for Gina, while
her mother recently gave her a white Mercedes SLK convertible, worth about
£30,000.
While Gina doesn’t solely rely on
her parents money - she earns £2,000 a month as a personal stylist - she has
shockingly not managed to save a penny of the mini fortune lavished on her.
The 23-year-old, who trained at
Sylvia Young Theatre School, spent an eye-watering £50,000 in two days last
month on clubbing and shopping for luxury clothes, after taking her father's
credit card without his permission.
'My dad wasn't happy,' Gina's
brother Sebastian says,' but he just shrugged it off.'
Gina compares herself to
socialite and millionairess Tamara Ecclestone, and admits she often has no idea
how much she spends on luxuries such as socialising, hair and beauty.
Gina often posts about her
lavish lifestyle on Twitter, tweeting on 21st December ‘Shopping in
Knightsbridge with mummy! Love her, and her cards!’ and treating her 373
followers to daily reminders of her extravagant purchases and indulgent
restaurant meals.
In one tweet she declares: ‘I
decided I'm strictly eating at michelin star restaurants and 5* places, i'm
tired of trying to be normal and eating at these other places!'
