A student has revealed that her dad is constructing an astonishing mansion all for her, leading to accusations of her being “spoilt” due to its immense size. However, she maintains that she is actually “quite humble.”
Vivienne, who goes by the name Vati, has gained attention online after offering glimpses into her stunning home, which is currently being built. The property has been likened to a “palace,” with many praising her father’s grand gesture. Vati says is has “always been” her dad’s dream to build her a mansion.
Originally from Phnom Phen in Cambodia, Vati moved to London at 19 to pursue her studies. Unlike most students who ponder their future post-graduation, Vati has no such concerns; her mansion will be ready upon her graduation.
She stated: “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.”
Her video showcasing the mansion has garnered over five million views on TikTok. On her page, she mentioned people often question her high standards. “Well, look at the mansion my dad is building for me,” she responded.
The impressive images of the house reveal a massive structure surrounded by pillars, featuring a double-sided grand staircase leading from the hallway to the upper floor and a beautiful balcony area. There’s still a significant amount of work to be completed before Vati can call it home.
The young woman was keen to showcase the renovation work to give kudos to her dad, saying: “I just want to show off that I have a great dad and he is doing something great for me.”
She also remarked: “When you guys said the mansion is the size of Buckingham Palace you guys weren’t kidding! ” The video sparked a flurry of comments with one person posting: “Girl, that’s not a mansion, that’s a palace.”
Another complimented: “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.”
A man chimed in: “Working hard so I can build the same for my future daughter one day.”
“I’ve never been more jealous,” another confessed, while someone else quipped: “My dad won’t even lend me a fiver,” Before relocating to London, Vati mentioned she had resided in a Cambodian villa with her kin from about age 10 until her move to the UK. She shared: “I would ask workers to help me take photographs of me inside the house,” Her father sold the property “because his dream was always to give me a mansion,” Vati added.
Despite her affluent background, the fashion enthusiast noted she didn’t realise her family’s wealth as it seemed normal due to her peers being in similar financial situations, stating: “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.
