How does a teenage daughter from a family of gay millionaires live? Spoiler: everything is in chocolate
18-year-old Saffron Drewitt-Barlow is truly a "daddy's girl": she has two millionaire fathers and no mother. And a huge wardrobe with things worth a million pounds. This girl has everything you could ever dream of! She's Barry's daughter and Tony Drewitt-Barlow, the first gay men in the UK who had children with the help of surrogacy and registered their paternity officially.
You might think that this is the wardrobe of some Hollywood star. Exquisite dresses from Prada and Burberry, accessories from Gucci, Hermes and Louis Vuitton. But all this impressive wealth does not belong to an actress, pop star or supermodel.
Its happy owner is an ordinary teenage girl Saffron Drewit-Barlow. However, her name has been in the headlines since she was born.
This family is quite famous: in 1999, Barry and Tony Drewitt-Barlow became the first gay men in the UK to have children with a surrogate mother. They were twins —a girl Saffron and a boy Aspen. Saffron and Aspen were conceived using a donor egg from one woman, Tracy McCune, and then transplanted to another woman, Rosalind Bellani. Barry is the father of one child, Tony is the father of another, but they never talk about which of them is the biological father for which of the twins, because they believe that parenthood should be absolutely equal.

Tony Barlow is a biochemist who has made a career in clinical research. He met Barry in 1987. That's when the couple came up with the idea of having children. Now the total wealth of gay spouses is 40 million pounds. It is based on a number of business areas, including a very successful company specializing in medical research, with branches all over the world.
Barry and Tony Drewitt-Barlow are very loving and indulgent dads who do not deny their children anything and spoil them very much.
On her 18th birthday, Saffron received a white Range Rover, and her twin brother Aspen was presented with the same car, but in black. The girl receives 5,000 pounds a month for pocket expenses, but now that she has reached adulthood, fathers expect her to take steps towards financial independence.
So let's go back to the contents of Saffron's closet, since she put it on public display. Its contents are estimated at about 1 million pounds — by the way, by coincidence, the fathers invested the same amount in Saffron's first business venture — a line of care cosmetics Barking Mad Cosmetics.
Saffron has Louis Vuitton boots for 1400 pounds, a customized Rolex watch for 39 thousand, a Prada dress for 2000. On the right hand is a Wallis Simpson ring for 400 thousand pounds, on the left — a Harry Winston diamond ring for 150 thousand pounds.
