Venezuela Fury's plans to make millions after Paris' nepo baby slur – from copying Princess Andre to ‘silent' TikToks

THE eldest of the Fury kids, Venezuela, has quickly become an influencer after the Combined with her ever-growing popularity on social media, Venezuela is on her way to making millions. 11 The stunning mother-and-daughter duo regularly turn heads with their ensembles Credit: Instagram 11 Paris and Venezuela often dress to match for lavish events Credit: Instagram But, while most naysayers can dismiss Venezuela's life-of-luxe as her being a nepo baby to the heavyweight boxer who has an eye-watering £162million in cash and investments in his firm - we can reveal it's all part of Money-making mum Mum-of-seven Paris' own influence has also grown enormously since the show aired and it's no doubt Paris will be trying to guide Venezuela to success. Fiercely proud of her Irish traveller roots, Paris uses her own platform to share stories of her upbringing and life as a gypsy wife, and her non-nonsense approach to raising so many kids without any at-home help has quickly made her one of the most popular and relatable mumfluencers out there. In May the Paris Fury LTD, recorded a yearly profit of almost £200,000, meaning Paris, 35, is raking in an More on Venezuela Fury Despite In their hit Netflix series, Paris accused her then 13 year old daughter of being a 'privileged little brat" and said she refuses to let her 'sponge' off her father's £40 million fortune. 11 Venezuela posed with her mum Paris and grandma Lynda Mulroy Credit: Instagram/parisfury1 However, now almost 16, it looks like Venezuela has taken note as she is now clearly carving out her own career within the hugely popular #GypsyTok social media arena. As well as her hugely popular outfit and GRWM videos, the fashion-loving teen recently announced she's flogging some of her pre-loved garments from the family's £1.7 million mansion on Vinted - which given her followers' appreciation for her wardrobe, could be lucrative. Most read in Celebrity Partnerships with P. Louise cosmetics and smaller fashion brands who do bespoke outfits for the traveller community like Patty Fashion and Cristalle could also be in the working. Fabulous' fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend says: "Something unique about Venezuela is her confidence. "For a 16-year-old to be brave enough and disciplined enough to constantly be active on social media, keeping up with their trends and sounds, showing off her clothes and lifestyle is pretty impressive. "For other influencers with her following, it's their full-time job. "If I were a brand looking for someone with a huge audience she'd be a go-to. "Brands from the Boohoo group (who now own Debenhams, PrettyLittleThing, Oasis, Karen Millen and Warehouse as well as Boohoo) would be foolish not to capitalise on her and her loyal following. But it will cost them. "She's already got a savvy business mind and is using her social presence to sell her old designer clothes on Vinted - and with an army of thousands - she could easily bag seven figures. "Looking at the likes of Princess Andre, another successful teen, at 18 years-old she's bagged deals as a brand ambassador for the likes of PrettyLittleThing and Superdrug. "There's a high chance Venezuela could achieve the same - if not better."

And ahead of her 16th birthday this September, Venezuela has even signed with top talent agency, The Can Group, led by PR supremo Claire Powell. Paris is represented by the same agency who also successfully masterminded the careers of Peter Andre , and his children Junior, 20, and 18 year old Princess. A source told The Sun, "Signing Venezuela up to The Can Group is a very business-savvy decision by the Furys. Having worked with Peter Andre's kids Junior and Princess, the agency has already proved the value in taking on their clients' children. "There's already a lot of trust between all parties and the benefit of being able to mould them from a young age. "Venezuela made clear in the Netflix documentary that she has her own mind and is growing up fast. "She's still young, so has plenty of time to find her path. By the looks of things, she's going to be really successful." 11 Venezuela, right, is often see with glam mum Paris, second right, and stylish pals Credit: Instagram 11 Venezuela has a tanned glossy posse around her, including Lizzie and LaLa Saunders, who she went to Barbados with Credit: Instagram In the past few months alone the 15-year-old has been endlessly glammed up to the nines - schmoozing at Ascot, Paris .

Most of them like Venezuela left school at the age of 11 - which is custom in the traveller community - meaning they are free to enjoy days out shopping for new outfits, getting their nails done or enjoying lunches in London's swanky Knightsbridge. In April, holidays cramming for their exams. 'Beautiful' fans gasps as Venezuela Fury, 15, shows off her model-looks in 'stunning' gypsy wedding co-ord The group of friends stayed at Simon Cowell's favourite hotel in Sandy Lane where rooms can cost from £1300 per night and showcased their incredible holiday wardrobes to adoring followers. Weeks later, Venezuela was back home for a '#gypsywedding' and shared clips of herself wearing a glitzy and very expensive looking white diamante satin co-ord and gold heels. And it's usually Venezuela's jewel-encrusted and colourful outfits that get the most attention from fans online. And it's hardly surprising, Venezuela's girl group Caprice Welch 11 Venezuela and popular traveller influencer Caprice Welch often praise each other online Credit: Instagram One pal who also often likes Venezuela's fashion posts on social media is 17-year-old Caprice Welch. She's another popular influencer from the traveller community who likes to keep her 11,000 followers up-to-date on her super glam lifestyle, often with her and Venezuela sweetly commenting on how much they love each other on post. When they're not on holiday or dining out, traveller social gatherings are often where they hang out. While it's unknown if Venezuela was there, Caprice is a regular at Cambridge's Midsummer Fair - an annual event known as the 'Gypsy Fair' in the traveller community - along with fellow influencer Mary Bridget Stanley. Mary Stanley 11 Mary Bridget Stanley has nearly racked up a million followers on TikTok Credit: TikTok Mary - who has an incredible 954,000 followers on TikTok - joined Venezuela at Royal Ascot for Ladies' Day on June 20. The glam 19-year-old often shares 'get ready with me' videos, giving advice on the perfect pin curls as well as her skincare routine. In one video, she even gave a make-up tutorial for girls ahead of the traditional 'grabbing' courting ritual where the boys kiss and 'grab' the girl they like. Sienna Featon 11 Another member of Venezuela's girls group is Sienna Featon Credit: TikTok A close mate who is yet to burst onto the influencer scene but often features on her TikTok videos is also 16-year-old Sienna Featon who, like all of them, showcases her outfits and sings along to songs from her traveller trailer. And with that girl gang backing her, there could be no stopping her! How Venezuela Fury 'could be a millionaire by age 16' with her own modelling career WITH a heavyweight boxing champ for a dad and a bestselling author mum, it's likely that Venezuela Fury has a bright future ahead of her. And the 15-year-old is already shaping up to be one of the most popular teenagers on the internet, racking up 70,000 followers on Instagram and more than 200,000 followers on TikTok. The star has already caught the attention of modelling agencies, who have claimed that her unique style could make her a "millionaire by the time she's 16." Gemma Howorth, Founder of "Venezuela is very young but if correctly managed could really do well with a strong fashion-focused brand like Boohoo and then go on to develop an exciting modelling career," she said. According to Carol Needham, who runs "Seeing someone like Venezuela Fury is truly unique," Carol said. "She's almost 6ft tall at 15 years old and has her own signature style in modelling, especially with her teapot pose. "I wouldn't be surprised if PrettyLittleThing wanted to snap her up!" Princess signed a four-figure deal with the fast-fashion brand back in January, and some experts predict the move could see her become a millionaire by the time she's 18. by Olivia Stringer, Fabulous Digital Writer
