In an alarming, but not surprising display of lavish gift-giving, Roxy Jacenko has agreed to fulfil her nine-year-old son Hunter's extravagant request – an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar watch valued at a whopping $863,000.
This came to light when Jacenko, currently visiting Sydney while her son stays in their home in Singapore, shared a series of WhatsApp messages on her Instagram Stories.
In the exchange, Hunter explicitly asked his mum for impressive gifts, such as the watch, after she told him she missed him.

The Whatsapp message exchange
The screenshot reads: "I miss you," from Roxy. Then Hunter replies, "Same," before immediately following that up with, "Can you buy me presents?"
"Not sh*t ones though, like cool stuff," he specified.
Then in response to Roxy's query about exactly what it was that he had in mind, Hunter promptly sent an image of the luxury watch.
Priced at nearly $900k, it's not your average watch for a nine-year-old, that's for sure. It's known for its intricate design and for being a status symbol, owned by celebrities like Ed Sheeran, Jay Z and Travis Scott.
"This please," Hunter succinctly put it, and for some reason (read: this and this), we don't think he's joking.
Jacenko then wrote over the screenshot, "Ok. 👌😂"

Roxy's daughter, Pixie, also asks for presents over text
It's not the first time Roxy has shared conversations like this with her kids on social media.
In July last year, Roxy shared a text exchange between her and her daughter Pixie in which the 12-year-old requested a list of presents.
In the messages, Pixie called her mum a "dumb a**" and "stupid" because she didn’t know what Aquaphor healing balm was.
"Okay, so what I want is: Glossier mascara, Aquaphore [sic] stick probs will be in target, Go for Gold top in shot [sic] sleeve and long sleeve from urben [sic] outfitters, Aviatior [sic] nation track suit, and I’m still looking so give me a sec many thanks," Pixie wrote.
"Got it," Roxy replied, and then innocently asked what an Aquaphore stick was.
"No look. Dumb a**," Pixie replied, sharing a photo of the Google results. "It’s lip balm. Stupido."
Then Roxy replied, "Maybe it’s your excellent spelling," Roxy replied. "I’ll make it happen. As usual."
