Li Xiang follows a Chinese proverb that says daughters should be raised in abundance while sons are raised frugally. As such, she has no problem giving her daughter approximately $20,000 USD in allowance every month.

We are not short of money. Why live a frugal life? If she likes it, I will buy it. there’s no need for us to save money.

Not everyone, however, is a fan of her parenting style, and Angela’s expensive styling has drawn mixed reactions from netizens.

• “I think those clothes do not fit her. They make her look much older.”
• “Wang Shiling is the girl I envy most. I hope to be Li Xiang’s daughter in my next life.”
• “It’s a storm in a teacup. They are super-rich. Those expenses are just a tiny proportion of their income.”
