Billionaire Dubai dad sparks outrage after gifting 1-year-old daughter a £500K pink Rolls-Royce Phantom

A billionaire dad in Dubai made headlines after he gave his 1-year-old daughter a £500,000 pink Rolls-Royce Phantom. The internet is going wild, some people are impressed, but many are super angry.

A rich businessman named Satish Sanpal, who lives in Dubai but is originally from India, gave his 1-year-old daughter Isabella a custom-made pink Rolls-Royce Phantom. The luxury car is worth £500,000, and with all the customizations, it probably cost even more, as per the report by The Sun.

The Rolls-Royce was gifted to Isabella on Father’s Day, and the entire moment was filmed and posted online, making it go viral. In the video, Satish is seen giving the keys of the car to his toddler while standing with his wife Tabinda.


The car is fully pink, with a super fancy metallic exterior and pink & white leather seats inside. The car’s number plate even says, “CONGRATULATIONS Isabella”, and every seat has her initials stitched into it.

The car was customized in the UK and then transported to Dubai for the occasion, as the imprints on each of its doors showed. The family however arrived in another one of the Roll- Royces, showing off their fleet.

A pink carpet for the baby was rolled out at the venue, with the outside area clad in balloons, flowers and teddies. A sliding door greeted the parents and the offspring, with her name ISABELA and its initials ISS written on them

Isabella was seen happily dancing with the event staff after seeing her gift, even though she can't legally drive for another 17 years

People got mad online

Many users were angry, saying the gift was unnecessary and over-the-top. One person said: “Charities are begging for support, and a toddler gets a Rolls-Royce?” Another called it: “A tacky and flashy display of wealth.” Someone else wrote, “The girl would’ve been happier at a water park”, as per The Sun report.

Some people defended the dad

One person said, “He worked hard, he earned it. Let him spend it on his family.” Another added: “It’s a sweet gesture. She’s lucky to have a caring dad.”

Back in February, Satish Sanpal also threw a crazy fancy birthday party for Isabella at the luxury hotel Atlantis The Royal in Dubai. He turned the whole place into a winter wonderland with fake snow, icy chandeliers, and frosted white trees, according to the report by The Sun.
