Roxy Jacenko isn’t shy when it comes to throwing her money around.

The PR queen spent an outrageous $1315 on a Prada dog collar and lead for her pooch Oreo earlier this week.

The 40-year-old explained that the Prada collar ($595) and dog lead ($720) was a gift for Oreo as he is about to go in for knee surgery.

“Oreo is going to be very posh with this new lead!” she wrote beside a snap of the gift posted on Instagram.

Speaking to theDaily Mail Australia, Jacenko explained that her dog had injured his leg recently.

“He has been on human strength painkillers awaiting surgery. He will go in on Thursday,” she said.

She added that her children, Pixie and Hunter, are “very upset”, adding: “Hunty even gave Oreo one of his ‘blankies’ to make him feel better.”

Oreo will take six weeks to recover from his surgery, so we don’t know how much he’ll be using that fancy dog lead until then.

It’s not the first time the star has splurged on her dog either.

Not only is Oreo regularly seen with designer accessories, but Jacenko previously bought him a Louis Vuitton Baxter leash worth $550.

Meanwhile, the star dropped an even larger amount of money on her daughter.

Recently, she copped major backlash for buying her nine-year-old daughter Pixie Curtis an $84,000 black Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class.

The Sydney PR guru uploaded a photo to Instagram of her child Pixie’s car, which sparked a frenzy of comments from vocal critics who questioned why the schoolgirl would need her own car.

The mother-of-two told news.com.au she bought the car for her daughter due to its comprehensive safety features.

“It’s of utmost importance to me that both she and her brother Hunter travel safely on the roads when going to and from school so I purchased a car for her,” the Sweaty Betty PR founder toldnews.com.au.

“Obviously she doesn’t drive it, she is driven in it as is her brother to and from school and for any activities.

“Given the number of fatalities on our roads their safety is so important so if it means buying a car that has extra safety features that’s what I’ll do.”

The safety highlights of the car, which can sell from $77,400 to $83,500 depending on its features, include a 360-degree parking camera and an accident anticipatory system.

Some of the comments on the post about Pixie’s car included: “Seriously a car for some[one] who can’t drive for how many years,” while another said, “OMG I’ve got a 50k debt from university fees and Pixie’s got a 80k car at nine years old.”

Jacenko, who has 260,000 followers on Instagram, has an impressive fleet of cars in her arsenal, with her social media showing she has a Land Rover and an Aston Martin.

The 40-year-old is no stranger to criticism when it comes to her extreme wealth. She says the backlash doesn’t bother her.

“People are always quick to criticise but I am good doing me, I don’t let the noise affect my decisions that are right for my family or myself,” she said.

While her children certainly have a solid head start in life, Jacenko has said once they are old enough they will be encouraged to get jobs and work hard.

“There’s something to be said taking a job working for someone else, not having it handed to you on a platter,” she told news.com.au last year. “It puts you in good stead.

“Nothing is for free. Nothing. I’m certainly not a person giving anything for nothing.”
