Kylie Jenner’s OTT presents for Stormi Webster are nothing next to the OTT gifts uber-rich Asian mums like Chryseis Tan, Cherie Chan and Kim Raymond give their kids

Mother’s day is just around the corner, which means it’s time to acknowledge not just our own beloved mums, but also some of the most inspiring power-mums around the world. And if we look into the heady world of crazy rich Asians, that means mothers who spend their multimillion fortunes on their children.

Young, rich and extravagant mums such as Bling Empire’s Christine Chiu and Singaporean heiress Kim Lim were lucky enough to grow up in wealthy families – and now they share the same perks with their offspring. Here’s how five mothers raise their children like nobody else.

Christine Chiu

No surprise to see Bling Empire’s Christine Chiu at the top of the list. Since Baby G (aka Gabriel) is an only child, of course he gets to enjoy all the perks of being heir to the estimated US$80 million dynasty. Besides parking a mini Lamborghini Urus, Tesla, Ferrari and more in his garage, Gabriel is often dressed in luxury brands such as Givenchy, Dolce & Gabbana and Burberry.

Other than splurging on a rich-kid wardrobe, 38-year-old Chiu also spent at least a seven-figure sum on Gabriel’s first birthday party, which featured a custom-built roller coaster, Ferris wheel, 10-course meals and a claw-grabber machine filled with Gucci goodies. She also made a US$1 million donation in Baby G’s name to Cayton Children’s Museum in Santa Monica.
