To Daphne Blunt, grabbing a $5,400 mini classic Chanel bag off the shelf is like grabbing a $2 bag of chips to anyone who isn’t the daughter of a multimillionaire.
Blowing cash on choice couture and fantastical trips to Paris, London and New York City is something like a birthright to the millennial maximalist, who says living off of her parents’ wealth is a “true blessing.”
“There are just so many things in life that I don’t really have to worry about, like my bills being paid,” Blunt, 28, from Los Angeles, exclusively told The Post. “I can travel when and where I want. I can buy what I want.”
“I don’t have a monthly allowance,” she continued. “I have the Black American Express card.”
The haute hedonist chose not to reveal the identity of her parents. She did, however, say that her father is a major finance mogul and her mother a retired model.
With mom and dad’s money at her manicured fingertips, Blunt, a Georgetown graduate and an aspiring actor, spends between $50,000 to $100,000 a month on the finest of finery, including the $25,000 Birkin 25 she recently added to her designer handbag collection.
It’s an assemblage of swank accessories to complement her equally chic closet of clothes, featuring an assortment of vintage, ready-to-wear Chanel pieces cherry-picked by the fashion house’s late creative director, Karl Lagerfeld.
“My parents worked really hard to give me the life that I have,” said nepo baby Blunt. “They always want me to be well taken of.”
It’s the luck of the biological draw.
And if affluence is in the gene pool, inheritors like Blunt, as well as billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz, are gleefully swimming in it.
Nicola, 31, daughter of Nelson Peltz, 83, the founder of investment firm Trian Fund Management, can easily drown her sorrows — triggered by infighting with her in-laws, Victoria and David Beckham — in a rare bottle of 1831 Château d’Yquem, valued at $24,000.
The small-screen siren, of “Bates Motel” fame, can also sidestep the drama with hubby Brooklyn Beckham’s mama by escaping to the ritzy San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. Cottages at the 550-acre, ultra-luxury resort range in price from $2,495 to $10,000 per night.
Sensationalized scuttlebutt recently claimed that Nicola funds her lavish lifestyle with a $1 million monthly allowance from her well-to-do daddy, who boasts a net worth of $1.6 billion.
But sources close to the voluptuary slammed the gossip as “100% false.”
“It is not true,” an insider told Page Six, in part. “It is simply a fabricated rumor made up from thin air.”
Blunt, however, said being spoiled by the spoils of one’s wealthy parents — regardless of the dollar amount — isn’t anything to be ashamed of.
“I have no shame. My mother and father want me and my siblings to enjoy the luxuries of life,” insisted the “richtokker,” who regularly flaunts her extravagant existence to over 160,000 drooling fans online.
“I’m flying first class to New York City for fashion week next month, and I can’t wait to shop,” she giggled before rattling off a list of her preferred hotel stays in the Big Apple — including the Ritz-Carlton Central Park South, with room rates from $975 to $5,552 per night.
One weekend evening in the presidential suite costs a cool $27,000, according to the hotel’s site.
“In New York, I act like money is unlimited,” Blunt said. “I will be at every Miu Miu location possible, and I’ll be going around to the city’s archival vintage stores.
“I just feel so fortunate to grow up with parents who worked hard and looked out for me,” she added, “because they wanted me to be able to have the easiest life possible.”
Dorna Kash, 32, the daughter of an Iranian oil tycoon, echoed similar sentiments to The Post.
The purported petroleum princess chose not to share her parents’ names for privacy purposes.
“I never hear, ‘No,’” said Kash, based in Singapore, who claims to drop between $500,000 to $900,000 on exotic getaways each month. “What I’m able to spend is unlimited.”
The billion-dollar baby flies to roughly three chichi cities every 30 days, she claimed, securing the most luxe accommodations upon landing.
“I love staying at Raffles The Palm when I’m in Dubai, and either the Rosewood Hotel and Four Seasons George V when I’m in Paris,” bragged Kash of the high-end hotspots. “I don’t plan — I just go. And I don’t have to pack a full bag; I can buy everything I need when I land.”
It’s bougie behavior that earned the brunette some social media flak.
“I get a lot of backlash from people who tease me about spending ‘Daddy’s money.’ At first, it bothered me because it felt like I was being punished for just existing,” said Kash, who regales her over 71,000 virtual followers with snippets of her posh pastimes.
“But now, I hope my content inspires women, especially those who experience burnout,” she asserted. “I want them to know that it’s not a moral failure to be taken care of.
“I just ignore the haters and enjoy the privileges that my parents give me.”
