A young woman has shared a glimpse inside the incredible mansion her dad is building for her, which will be ready for when she graduates university – but people have slammed her as ‘spoilt’
A student has shared that her dad is building her an incredible mansion – people call her “spoilt” and cannot believe its size, but she insists she is “quite humble.”
Vivienne, who calls herself Vati, has gone viral after sharing sneak peaks inside her jaw-dropping home, which is currently under construction. People have described it as a “palace” and some have applauded her dad’s grand gesture.
Vati is from Phnom Phen in Cambodia, but moved to London at the age of 19 to to study. While most students have to think about what they want to do after their studies, Vati doesn’t have to worry; her mansion will be ready for when she graduates.
She said: “I’m going to back home once the mansion is done – I deserve to be a nepo baby not working hard to pay rent in somebody else’s country.”
The content creator’s video raked in over five million views on TikTok. Via her page @vivennetathxoxo she said people often ask her why her standards are so high. “Well look at the mansion my dad is building for me,” she said.
Jaw-dropping images of the home show a huge building with pillars around it. There is a double sided grand staircase leading from the hallway to upstairs and a beautiful balcony area. A lot of work needs to be done on the space before Vati can call it home.
She wanted to share the renovation process to give credit to her dad. The young woman added: “I just want to show off that I have a great dad and he is doing something great for me.” She later added: “When you guys said the mansion is the size of Buckingham Palace you guys weren’t kidding!”
People rushed to comment on the video and one said: “Girl, that’s not a mansion, that’s a palace.” One other wrote: “This is already one of the most visually pleasing homes I’ve seen architecturally. i do not blame u for wanting to escape paying rent for such a beautiful mansion, custom built for you by your dad.”
One man added: “Working hard so I can build the same for my future daughter one day.” “I’ve never been more jealous,” added one other. “My dad won’t even lend me a fiver,” joked another.
Before moving to London, Vati says she had lived in a Cambodian villa with her family since around age 10, right up until she moved to the UK. She said: “I would ask workers to help me take photographs of me inside the house,” she said. Her father sold the house “because his dream was always to give me a mansion,” Vati added.
The fashion lover said she never really noticed that she was from a rich family; others around her were in similar positions. She explained: “When you’re privileged, you never really see your privilege.
“When I got into college my dad got me my first car a BMW C2 but I was allowed to use his Range Rover and Lexus 570 – those are kind of popular models from where I’m from – I was kind of embarrassed when my dad gave me this as my first car.”
Vati continued: “I always realised that people always see me as rich but it’s so shocking to me as I never really see myself as rich because I am so used to to the lifestyle that I never really see it – and because there were kids that I would look up to that are richer than me that I forgot that I am privileged myself.”
While Vati admits she does like nice things, she says she doesn’t splurge on designer bags and prefers street food to fine dining. “I feel like I’m quite humble,” she added.
