23-year-old Julia says she was given a Luis Vuiton bag at age 19 and she didn't know it wasn't a norm until she went to University.
A billionaire's daughter who has been lavished her with gifts and lived a jet-set lifestyle since birth has admitted she didn't realise not everyone was as lucky until she went to university.
23-year-old Julia Stakhiva, is a daughter of a billionaire,
who is originally from the Ukraine but now lives in Mayfair, London, was given
her first Louis Vuitton handbag aged nine and now has a wardrobe worth more
than £1.5m.
Sharing details of her privileged life on today's This
Morning with presenters Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, she revealed it was
only when she went to Regents University, London, to study business that she
learnt her way of life wasn't the norm.
Julia, said she will
one day have to work hard running her parents successful businesses
According to "Pretty Rich Julia" 'People used to look at me a lot when I was
younger because I had nice clothes but it was only when I went to university that
I realised not everyone could afford designer bags and shoes so I felt
special,' she confessed.

She continue to share
details of her lavish lifestyle, she rapidly gained thousands of followers.
While some brands may work hard to gain such numbers, Julia
said for her it was easy.
She said: 'At uni everyone had Instagram so I thought
"why not? I have time". I had things to show, it was natural for me.
'I didn't have to go to a lot of effort to be famous on
Instagram.'
But Julia, whose lifestyle is funded by her parents who made
their millions by running multiple companies in the Ukraine, admits being an
internet star has bought her both fans and haters.
'It is about 50-50,' she admitted. 'Some message to say they
adore me and love my style but others say they hate me for being rich.'
Those who resent her lifestyle will no doubt be enraged to
hear she finds it 'normal' to fly to Russia just to get her haircut.
People say they hate
me and blame me for being rich but I didn't choose this life, I was born into
it
She explained: 'I fly to Moscow to see my hairdresser as I
am used to them and like them. I get great service there, they close the whole
salon for me and bring food and my favourite Champagne. I take all my friends
and we have a party.
'For me it is normal to travel that far for a haircut. It is
difficult to explain but I have been travelling since I was baby.
'When you have money, you have freedom as there are no
boundaries.'
'I received my first designer items from my parents - a
Louis Vuitton handbag and Gucci shoes - when I was nine-years-old. It gave me a
taste for the finer things.
'And since the age of 16, I've been spending at least
£17,000 per month on clothes.
'But for my graduation outfit, I have a budget of £20,000
minimum. My mother and I will be going to Paris to buy a really nice dress for
the ceremony.
Only child Julia counts Balmain and Alaia as her favourite
designers. She owns over 100 handbags (costing around £4,000 each) and 60 pairs
of shoes.
In total, Julia's clothes collection is estimated at over
£1.5 million with her fur collection worth £300,000 alone.
Julia - who will be starring in new TV series 'The Majors' -
adds: 'I don't mix and match with designers when I put together an outfit. It's
disrespectful to not wear the whole designer.
'If I choose one Balmain piece, then I will wear Balmain
from top to toe.'
Since she was in high school, Julia has also had a personal
trainer and a nutritionist - who recommends that she eat a strict diet avoiding
carbs and sweets during the week. But she is allowed to enjoy a 'cheat day' on
Sunday.
Typically, Julia has a soya milk cappuccino and blueberries
for breakfast then lunch and supper will be a salad or fish and vegetables.
Julia, who is single, adds: 'And every year since I was 16
years old, my parents have sent me to a private German clinic for two months to
do a detox.
'I've had to take all my school and university exams at the
clinic because my parents insist that I do this detox.'
But when Julia turned 18, she decided to take her pursuit of
beauty to a higher level - by going under the knife.
With the approval of her parents, Julia underwent lip
injections and facial fillers at £500 per session. In addition, she spent
£2,000 on Buccal fat removal - otherwise known as cheek reduction surgery.
Julia explains: 'Since I was a young child, I did the usual
beauty treatments like manicures, pedicures and facials.
'But when I turned eighteen years old, with my parents'
permission, I started getting cosmetic surgery.
'I got fillers to make my face more pretty and buccal fat
removal surgery to make my cheeks more defined. I had too much baby fat.
'My parents understand my pursuit of perfection. Being
healthy and looking good is the most important thing in the world.
JULIA'S RICH KID BEAUTY COSTS
Buccal fat removal surgery (cheek reduction surgery) -
£2,000
Facial fillers, lip injections, haircuts and scalp
injections (£30,000 per year since the age of 18) - £150,000
Teeth whitening and straightening - £28,000

GRAND TOTAL: £180,500
'Plastic surgery is an absolute necessity for me, it's about
investing in yourself.'
Now, Julia flies to Moscow every two months to undergo all
her cosmetic procedures and treatments.
Each time, her fillers, fat reduction surgery, lash
extensions, manicures and hair treatments cost a minimum of £5,000.
She also recently underwent semi permanent make-up at £500
as well as teeth whitening and straightening for a whopping £28,000.
Julia is looking into getting her a £20,000 boob job this
year too.
She says: 'There are no good beauticians or hairdressers in
London. So it's much easier to take a plane to Moscow every few months to get
all my treatments.
'I have to book out the whole salon in Moscow for the day so
it can be free for me anytime I arrive.
'I'm considering getting breast implants this year too. It
would definitely make me feel better.'
Julia has a jetset lifestyle, travelling the world and
partying at London's most exclusive nightclubs.
'I love going to Paris, Ibiza and the States and only stay
in the best hotels.
'You can't have expensive bags and watches and stay in a
three-star hotel.
My parents would worry for my safety.
'When I'm out, I order Dom Perignon or Cristal. I hired an
assistant to keep an eye on me at all times and ensure I don't get too drunk
when I'm out.'
Julia uploads photos showcasing her decadent lifestyle and look
on Instagram (@julia.stakhiva). She says she enjoys the negative criticism from
people online.
'I love all my haters. I would rather die than have people
not talk about me. People criticizing me shows that I'm an extraordinary
person.'
Julia is starring in new TV series 'The Majors' later this
year. For more information go to www.the-majors.net.
