Inside Paris & Tyson Fury's new gypsy wagon which comes complete with light-up bed, traditional carpet & golf-leaf decor
PARIS Fury has showed off the extravagant new 'toy' her family are loving - a gigantic gypsy wagon with gold interiors and a sleeping area. The glam mum-of-seven uploaded a series of clips to Instagram showing off her kids enjoying the swanky caravan. 11 Boxing legend Tyson, aka the Gypsy King, could be seen tucking some cereal inside the wagon, which came with its own stove. Meanwhile, the kids looked delighted as they reclined on the bed inside the decadently-decorated wagon, which had velvet curtains, LED lights and a gold decor. Paris added the caption: 'The boys new toy. 'They really thought they were gonna stop in there and got scared when me and their dad walked out.' From the outside, the Bill Wright wagon looks like a traditional gypsy caravan, with the steps leading up inside the beautifully-decorated home. Although it hasn't been confirmed what Tyson and Paris paid for the wagon, if they bought it, a similar Bill Wright lodging, which dated back to 1910, sold for $44,000 (£32,576). While this number seems eye-watering, it is just peanuts for the Fury family, with Gypsy King Tyson estimated to have a staggering net worth of £110m. The couple appear to be making the most of their wealth recently, with the couple enjoying a child-free bank holiday to Monaco and Lake Como. During the luxury trip, they flew by private jet, watched the Formula 1 and went on a superyacht. It is not just mega-money fights where Fury - dad to Venezuela, 15, Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, eight, Valencia, seven, Prince Adonis Amaziah, five, Athena, three, Rico, one - makes his millions. Inside mum-of-seven Paris Fury's glam bank holiday weekend away from the kids - from travelling in a private jet to night out partying with Tyson He also has his own Furocity energy drink, owns a number of bars, has three best-selling books and is endorsed by brands like Lucozade. Tyson and Paris were also well paid for his Netflix reality TV show " At Home with the Furys". Despite their riches, Tyson has revealed he will not be giving his seven kids a penny. 11 11 11 He explained: "I want my kids to get their own money, do their own things and be their own people. "I don't believe in just giving all your money to your kids but it will make them weak, spoiled and not value anything, worthless. "They'll end up getting to 35 and never having done anything for themselves, apart from spending dad's money." 11 11 PARIS' WEALTH Her husband may be worth £110m, but Paris isn't resting on her laurels when it comes to topping up her own bank account. Instead, the savvy mum-of-seven's secret private company, Paris Fury LTD, has recorded a yearly profit of almost £200,000, meaning Paris, 35, is raking in an incredible £3,800 every week. These assets are likely to include her book How Does She Do It, big money clothing collaborations with the likes of New Look, magazine deals and social media adverts. 11 The Fury family live in a £1.7million mansion in Morecambe, which has The Gypsy King logo emblazoned on the tarmac drive. Inside Tyson and Paris Fury's love story WITH world champ titles, multiple kids and a beautiful wife by his side, Tyson is much-loved by the nation, but his romance with Paris dates back to their teenage years. Paris met Fury when she was just 15 at a mutual friend's wedding. However, it wasn't until a year later, when their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster for her 16th birthday, that they began dating. Paris explained: "He was my first boyfriend as I was not allowed a boyfriend until the age of 16. He is the only boyfriend I have had. 'Tyson would train in boxing during the week and then come and see me at the weekend. I would always be so excited at the thought of seeing him.' In 2008, they tied the knot in front of 400 guests and slept together for the first time on the night of their wedding. In 2016, Fury's mental health issues, cocaine and alcohol abuse, and intolerable mood swings threatened their seemingly unbreakable marriage. On occasion, Paris would even contemplate leaving - packing her bags and getting into her car. However, she'd just stop herself - admitting she couldn't leave Tyson to "crash and burn".

Abuse in care survivor heartbroken after wagon in memory of late grandson ordered to go

Photo: RNZ/Jimmy Ellingham A survivor of abuse in state care is heartbroken her long-held dream of buying a gypsy wagon to travel around in has run into a wall of bureaucracy. As soon as Robyn Dandy this year received compensation for her torture at Lake Alice as child and adolescent unit in the 1970s she bought a wagon, fulfilling a promise she made to her 6-year-old grandson Kahn Petch before he died in a house fire in November 2001. Now, state housing provider Kāinga Ora says the wagon breaks its rules and must go. The wagon, painted a bright blue and green, is a converted horse float. Dandy had a graphic artist paint "Kahn's Dream" on the front. A picture of him sits inside. Robyn Dandy stands in front of her wagon. Photo: RNZ/Jimmy Ellingham "When Kahn was a little toddler and I used to look after him we used to do gardening and things together, and I'd say to him: One day Nana's going to buy a bus and you and I will travel around the country together'. "He used to get really excited and want to go there and then, but I didn't have a gypsy wagon or a bus then," Dandy said. The pair never had the chance to travel together, but Dandy made a vow at Kahn's tangi that she would buy a wagon and go on the road in her grandson's memory - and three months ago she finally had the means to do so. But, she said the week before last her tenancy manager turned up and said the wagon and a caravan then parked at her house must go, as well as chickens out the back. Kāinga Ora has sent her a breach notice and said it will be back on 20 June to see if the wagon and chickens have gone. "If this is not completed, we may apply to the Tenancy Tribunal for an order to have it fixed," the notice said. Dandy has moved the caravan and said she would part with the chickens if she had to, but the wagon was different. "I'm not going to give my gypsy wagon up because I go and sit in there, especially when I'm feeling down, and I feel my grandson in there," she said. "They're just being horrible. I'm not giving it up. They'll have to kick me out." She said it was only for camping and nobody would live in it. The converted horse float sits on Roby Dandy's Kāingra Ora property. Photo: RNZ/Jimmy Ellingham Kāinga Ora regional director Graeme Broderick said tenants needed permission to add a dwelling to a property, and Dandy hadn't sought this. The wagon was considered a dwelling due to its size and because it had a toilet and a sleeping area. "This additional dwelling and its placement so close to the house also breaches local council bylaws," he said. Checkpoint asked what bylaw was breached, but a spokesperson said it couldn't say as the Whanganui District Council staff member who provided it advice on dwellings was on leave. The spokesperson also said Dandy had not mentioned the wagon's sentimental value in her "numerous conversations" with frontline staff. Dandy disagreed, saying she told her tenancy manager when the pair first discussed the matter. "I pointed to the engraving I had put on front of the gypsy wagon in memory of my grandson and she was non caring, absolutely non caring in her attitude, and it really, really upset me," Dandy said. Broderick also said Dandy didn't seek permission for her chickens, but she said she declared all her animals when interviewed by the Ministry for Social Development about the house. "Despite multiple conversations with Mrs Dandy about the need for permissions for the chickens and the wagons, she has not requested these permissions," Broderick said. "If necessary we will use the tools available to us under the Residential Tenancies Act and apply for a work order to remove the gypsy wagon and chickens." Robyn Dandy's backyard is full of mud after rubbish was removed. She says her chickens can't be blamed for the waste. Photo: RNZ/Jimmy Ellingham Dandy said nothing was mentioned until recently. Her backyard was last month decontaminated of rubbish left by previous tenants. The work left the yard a muddy mess. Broderick said the chickens had scratched up waste, which required remediation. Dandy said it was unfair to blame the chickens for the waste, as the rubbish was there last October. "I found syringe needles when I was out hanging washing up just after I moved in here. I informed Kāinga Ora straight away. It took them a while to get anyone to come around," she said. "The place was full of rubbish. They pretty much condemned the back yard, so I've had nowhere for my animals to go to the toilet." Dandy said the gypsy wagon stoush left her feeling victimised. She's asked for a transfer to another area, due to security fears where she lives now, but her application isn't considered a priority.
