A 16-year-old rich kid with a penchant for limited edition trainers - and money to burn thanks to his billionaire dad - has allowed cameras into his jaw-dropping family home in Dubai.

Rashed Saif Belhasa, who also goes by the name 'Money Kicks' on  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 Channel 4's 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, houses 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 boasting limited edition Yeezys, Bapes and Air Jordans, all stored in bespoke cases and reported to be worth an estimated $1million (£785,000).

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.'
