How six-year-old Toddlers and Tiaras star is now a MILLIONAIRE after launching jewelry line for kids

Six-year-old Isabella Barrett has earned more than $1million from her jewellery and make-up line in the past year.
The former Toddlers and Tiaras star chooses and test out items for the Glitzy Girl collection, which features lip glosses, charm bracelets and velour hoodies.
'It's a lot of fun,' the first grader told In Touch magazine. 'I'm the boss!'

Mini mogul: Former Toddlers and Tiaras star Isabella Barrett, 6, has earned over $1million from her make-up and jewelry line Glitzy Girl
The idea for Glitzy Girl came about during Isabella's pageant days.
Every time the Rhode Island native won a beauty contest, she and her mother would get the title printed on a charm bracelet, 'so she could brag about her accomplishments,' explained Mrs Barrett.
 
Since fans loved the look of her charms, Isabella and her mother took advantage of her popularity and launched the line.
To manage her daughter's huge earnings, Mrs Barrett has set up a trust fund that Isabella won't be able to access until she turns 18.
'I'm just trying to raise a happy, healthy little girl,' Mrs Barrett said.
'I know Honey Boo Boo's mom wants to keep her grounded, but it's time for her to jump on the money train'
But the mother-of-two seems to have no qualms about cashing in on her daughter's fame.
She even told In Touch that she thinks Honey Boo Boo, her Isabella's former Toddlers and Tiaras co-star, should take advantage of her stardom, too.
'I know her mom, June, wants to keep her grounded,' she said. 'But... it's time to jump on the money train.'
Mrs Barrett explained that she and her daughter have always planned to use beauty pageants as a stepping stone for other projects.
'It helped us pave the path to where we are now,' she explained.

During an appearance on The View last June, Mrs Barrett controversially slammed Toddlers and Tiaras for bringing 'nothing but negativity to Isabella,' who was in just one episode of the TLC series.
Though the show was no doubt the catalyst of her newfound fame, Mrs Barrett criticized it for its 'completely wrong' portrayal of child beauty stars.
The Barrett family are no strangers to controversy though.
In one episode of the show, little Isabella accused her fellow junior beauty queen Paisley Dickey, three, of dressing like a 'hooker'.
And eyebrows were raised when the six-year-old was caught on camera singing and dancing along to 'I'm Sexy And I Know It' in a New York nightclub, her mother apparently egging her on.
