INTRODUCING her newborn daughter to a trio of friends, Linda Andrade, 24, couldn’t be prouder.
When two-month-old Amira starts to stir, the mum-of-one pulls out a £3k solid gold dummy from her £9k Chanel handbag and pops it in her mouth.
Her friends watch wide-eyed as Amira sucks contentedly on the glimmering dummy, happily snuggled into her £6k Dior pushchair.
“I know you love gold but is that actually solid gold?” asked one gobsmacked pal.
“Yes,” said Linda. “It is solid gold. Only the best for my Amira.”
Linda is used to the stunned looks but she wouldn’t have it any other way.
'NOT DESIGNER? NOT INTERESTED'
Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, she says: “I’m a millionaire housewife living in Dubai.
“My baby is treated like a princess. If it’s not designer or uber-expensive I’m not interested.
“My husband Ricky, 28, and I bought her £170k worth of gifts to celebrate her birth.
“My baby has a solid gold £3k dummy, £20k designer bag collection and a £30k jewellery collection and she isn't even three months old.”

Linda, originally from Jordan, loves showing off her tot on social media.
While many people are kind, others aren’t so thoughtful with trolls turning on her.
“One evil troll told me my baby should die,” Linda says.
“People troll me for buying my newborn gold and diamond jewellery.
“I am not bothered about the trolls. Their nasty comments are their problems. It’s a sad reflection on them, not me, especially when it involves a baby.
“I don’t care what they say, she’ll grow up to marry a billionaire.
“Amira has a black mini-Chanel handbag to match my £9k purse. That's just for popping to the corner store.
“I made my husband buy her birth weight in gold bars the day she was born. 6lb 14oz of pure gold costing more than £100k.”
NOTHING OFF LIMITS
Linda married Ricky, 28, an AI stock trading software designer on October 8, 2018, and the couple are proud parents to Amira, born on January 30 this year.
The family split their time between Dubai and the US with mansions in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and a penthouse flat in Dubai where they spend most of their time.
“Ricky gives me anything I want,” Linda says.
“He spoils me and our daughter. No gift is off limits. Ricky makes sure his Queen and Princess have everything we need.
“I have an £8k allowance just for the basics each month. We only ever fly first class or by private jet.
“Being a millionaire's wife is a full-time job.”
According to Linda, the birth of their first baby saw them spending more than ever.
“When I discovered I was pregnant in May last year Ricky and I decided we only wanted the best for Amira,” she says.
“The best included pregnancy gifts including a pink £20k couture Valentino gown, £15k worth of Dolce and Gabbana ‘day outfits’, a Hermes and a Chanel bag and two bars of solid gold weighing ten ounces.
“I love gold and I used it to mark every pregnancy milestone like the announcement and gender reveal with cakes decorated in 24 carat gold leaf costing £400 per tier.
“I also had cravings for Wagyu beef and caviar, but it doesn’t come cheap - Golden Ostrea Special Caviar costs £800 for 125 grams.
“But it wasn’t me craving it - it was Amira. She wanted £10k worth of caviar in the end.”
Amira’s wardrobe is also worth an eye-watering amount, including pieces from Baby Dior, Chanel and Dolce and Gabbana.
“But it’s not wasteful,” Linda says. “It's a designer investment. It also makes Amira a baby bling trendsetter.
“Ricky bought me a £9k quilted black Chanel day bag and got Amira a mini matching one for £4k.
“He knows the rule is if I get a new bag Amira must have a mini version. Her bag collection is stored in Dubai and LA, it is worth £30k and she’s only two months old.”

HOT WHEELS
Linda also presented her husband of five years with a push present list, so he’d have gifts for her after the birth of Amira.
“The best part of having a millionaire husband is having amazing gifts with push presents recently topping my list,” she reveals.
“Giving birth was exhausting and lasted four hours so I deserved the £130k Mercedes Benz as a ‘runabout’ for use in Los Angeles.
“In Dubai we’re about to purchase a £250k pink Lamborghini. That’s just for me and Amira.
“I insisted on a £20k black Hermes ‘Kelly Birkin' as a push present as well. It can hold a clean nappy and wipes as well as Ricky’s credit cards.”
Ricky also treated Linda to bracelets and rings costing £30k after their daughter's birth.
But Linda won’t accept any old jewellery, as she describes many women’s tastes in accessories as ‘tacky.’
“Ricky knows I love statement bracelets and rings I can stack,” she said.
Each year we will add to her gold, handbag and jewellery collection. She will be a millionaire by the time she is four

“He’s generous because I deserve it. He knows the pressure I'm under to maintain my bling status as a mum.
“He also treated me to a London shopping spree at Louis Vuitton before Amira was born."
But it was worth it as, as soon as Amira was born, Ricky became “obsessed,” with his daughter, the proud mum says.
The pair forked out thousands creating identical nurseries for Amira in Dubai and LA including a £27k fur Fendi blanket in each.
But the bling baby was being spoiled before she even entered the world.
“Before she was born Amira had £15k worth of gold rings and bracelets,” she says.
“When she was born Ricky bought her weight in gold bullion.
“Each year we will add to her gold, handbag and jewellery collection. She will be a millionaire by the time she is four.”
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
While they live a lavish lifestyle now, the pair weren’t always rich.
They were teenagers when they met in a gym, coming from humble beginnings.
“He was a dishwasher technician at the time,” Linda says.
“I asked him if he knew of any jobs I could apply for.”
After the couple wed Ricky began stock trading and has gone on to develop successful AI stock trading programmes making him a multi-millionaire.
“People don't know that about us,” she says.

“We met when he wasn’t a millionaire. We inspire each other.
“I’d be with Ricky whether he was rich or poor. We achieved success together and value it more than most people do.”
