A 16-year-old rich kid with money to burn thanks to his billionaire dad – and a penchant for limited edition trainers – allowed Channel 4 cameras into his sprawling family home in Dubai.
Rashed Saif Belhasa, who also goes by the name ‘Money Kicks’ on Instagram and boasts 1.5million followers, lives in the UAE with his family in a mansion so vast they use a golf cart to get around the grounds – which includes their own private zoo filled with exotic animals.
Rashed flaunted his extravagant lifestyle on World’s Weirdest Homes on Wednesday night, and told how he plans to follow in his construction magnate father’s footsteps by amassing a fortune of his own.
His private zoo, which can be seen from the enormous living room, has lions, tigers, panthers, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, and bears; and they receive regular visits from A-List celebrities – some of whom Rashed has named animals after.
Money Kicks is the proud owner of a vast shoe collection that includes Yeezys, Bapes and Air Jordans, all stored in bespoke cases and reported to be worth an estimated $1million.

Asked by the filmmaker during the documentary if he’s the only child in the world with his own private zoo, Rashed played it cool.
‘Yeah you could say that. I don’t like to show off,’ he said.
He explained that because the zoo isn’t open to the public, the family does not make a profit – and any suggestions that the animals are mistreated are shut down.
‘We take care of all our animals. When I went to Kenya, I see a lot of lions dying because they eat once a month and here they eat every single day.’

Rashed made headlines last year for wrapping a brand new £200,000 Ferrari car in Louis Vuitton Supreme logos.
Despite being too young to drive the car, as the legal age in Dubai is 18, he enlisted company FoilX to apply the customised wrap on the supercar, which was originally yellow.
The teenager’s YouTube channel and Instagram page showcases his lavish lifestyle, showing off his latest purchases alongside meeting celebrities and sports stars alike.
He has an entire room in his house dedicated to his trainer collection which features a pair of trainers worn by footballer Paul Pogba, one of only 14 pairs made.
