Dad spoils daughter with £200,000 Mercedes after she writes off £250,000 of cars

A dad has revealed how he spoiled his daughter by buying her a Mercedes worth £200K after she wrote off cars worth £250K.

Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, 51, says it is his right as a father to buy his children all the expensive gifts he wants.

Barrie and his ex-husband Tony were the UK's first gay couple to have children through surrogacy, and have since made millions through their business.

The millionaire businessman lives in a huge home set in 10 acres of land in Florida, the United States, with his six-children, boyfriend, ex-husband and his ex-husband's boyfriend.

He recently welcomed his first child, a baby girl, with his boyfriend Scott, who is his daughter's ex-boyfriend.

Barrie says that his daughter Saffron is the "most expensive" person in the house.

He had previously bought her a Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, but she had turned her nose at it saying she "hates it" and it was a "little old lady's car".

The dad-of-six told Bling Life on Truly that he gifted Saffron with the G-wagon after she wrote off a Land Rover and a Range Rover.

He said: "Saffron is the spoilt child of the house, if you like.

"So, Saffron is back from Ibiza. I'm thinking she is going to come back and see us and all the rest of it. No, she flies straight into Las Vegas with all her girlfriends.

"The only time I ever know where she is is when I get the Amex (American Express) alerts through to my telephone going '£1,500 has been spent in STK and £3,500 has just been spent in Nobu'."

He added: "Saffron has this tendency of wanting the best of everything and so, because of that, she's had lots of different cars over the last couple of years.

"She has had two cars written off in the last month.

"I said these are dangerous cars, they're really super fast cars, and I'm worried that she's driving them and not even thinking about it."

But Barrie went on to surprise his daughter with a new G-wagon despite her track record with cars.

Speaking to his son Aspen in the video, he said: "So, let's actually see if she cracks a smile with for this [car]."

Aspen speculated that she "maybe" would.

Barrie added: "Well if she doesn't, I just give up. Literally, I don't know what more we can do to make the girl happy."

Saffron did appear to be smiling before going for a spin in her new flashy motor.

The heiress has previously made headlines for her luxury lifestyle.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that she spent $100,000 on cosmetic surgery at the age of 21, and that she does not shop in stores such as Michael Kors due to them not being exclusive.

Her extravagant dad said: "If I want to spoil my kids with the money that I've worked really f***ing hard to get, then by Christ I am going to spoil them.

"I don't give a flying f*** what anybody think about me or my family."
