Millionaire heiress who spends £100 on food a DAY disgusted as she tries Pot Noodle for first time on Rich Kids Go Skint
A PAMPERED heiress who lives off her granddad’s millions and spends £100 on takeaways a DAY was disgusted as she tried Pot Noodle for the first time on Rich Kids Go Skint.
Appearing on the latest episode of the 5STAR show, 24-year-old Mercedez, from London, explained how she is given a £1,500 monthly allowance and never paid a bill in her life.
As a member of one of Nigeria’s richest families, Mercedez has never had to work to fund her lavish lifestyle or pay the rent at her envy-inducing penthouse apartment.
After losing her artist father when she was four years old, the student and her mother have been financially dependent on her grandfather in Nigeria – who has is involved in luxury car and engineering businesses.
Along with her £1,500 monthly allowance, Mercedez also doesn’t have to fork out for her £2,000 rent and will happily spend £800 on a pair of Gucci or Dior trainers.
“If I do need more money, I can just send over an email to my granddad and he’ll send it over to me in 24 hours,” she said.
Giving a glimpse into her designer wardrobe, Mercedez revealed that she’ll easily buy three handbags a month as she showed off her £1,100 Louis Vuitton backpack.
But above all, the heiress is addicted to her food delivery apps and spends an average of £100 a DAY having takeaways delivered to her door.
“I do order my breakfast and lunch… and probably dinner,” she admitted. “I don’t want to cook!”
As part of the television experiment, Mercedez moved in with struggling parents Liam, 24, and Caitlin, 21, from Doncaster.
The couple, who are expecting their second daughter, receive £548 a month in Universal Credit – and Mercedez’s daily lunch budget would be enough to feed the family for a week.
After making the 160-mile trip to Yorkshire, Mercedez said she felt like she was “in Coronation Street or Emmerdale” as they drove around the city.
“I feel like I’m Beyonce cause everyone is looking at me,” she said. “I feel like I’m a foreigner. The houses are like boxes.”
Once she had the tour around Caitlin and Liam’s crowded two-bedroom council house, it was time for lunch – and Mercedez swapped her usual salmon dish or sushi for her first ever Pot Noodle.
If I do need more money, I can just send over an email to my granddad and he’ll send it over to me in 24 hours.
Unsure what it was, she said: “I’m probably going to sound really dumb. So it’s got noodles in it but has it got chicken in it?”
In response, Liam said: “It’s just the flavour…”
Unable to hide her horror when she found out it was made with boiling water from the kettle, she said: “Erm okay. I’ll try it. Yeah… why not?”
But speaking to camera outside, she said: “I’m trying to understand. So it sits in the cupboard but it doesn’t go off? I don’t know.
“It looked like it was growing in the water. It’s a shame that’s the only option for lunch.”
When questioned by Caitlin about her lunch habits, Mercedez admitted that she usually spends £35 on it a day – which would cover two weekly shops for the struggling family.
The heiress said: “It’s cause I like a lot of stuff fresh. That’s why I’m a bit scared of [Pot Noodle] because it’s ready-made.”
Caitlin said: “It’s very rare that we have anything fresh – we usually have freezer veg.”
As she tore back the lid of the instant meal, Mercedez said: “Oh wow. It doesn’t look like the noodles I have.
“Noodles are usually long, you know what I mean? So it’s just… okay.”
Struggling to take even a mouthful, she said: “Yeah it’s not very nice. It hasn’t got a lot of flavour.”
Luckily, Caitlin and Liam managed to see the funny side to their temporary tenant’s eating habits.
The mum said: “To us it’s fine but she’s more used to eating…”
Finishing off the sentence, her partner joked: “Caviar!”
However, the experiment did prove to be a humbling experience for the student – who broke down in tears as the couple revealed they’d previously had to sell their belongings to feed their family.
