Would you be willing to spend a significant amount of money on a vacation for your one-year-old child? DJ Jodie Weston did just that, spending $40,000 on a luxury trip for her toddler.
Some say it was a waste of money, while others suggest it was a great idea to spend quality time with her son.
If fact, spending on luxury vacations for a one year old might seem extravagant to many, but for influencer and DJ Jodie Weston, it's a way of life.

Despite criticism, Jodie remained determined to defend her decision that her son, Koa, isn't being spoiled by their high-end travels.
Instead, she sees it as an opportunity to bond and enjoy life to the fullest.
Jodie, 30, has built a career as an influencer and DJ, gaining fame through British reality TV shows such as "Rich Holiday Poor Holiday" and "Rich Kids Go Skint."
These shows showed the contrasts between wealth and modest living, teaching Jodie to appreciate life's simpler pleasures.
However, her love for luxury remains unabated, and she is eager to share these experiences with Koa.
The first location on the list is St. Lucia, Budapest. These are just a few of the destinations that Koa has already visited in his first year.
While someone dreams of visiting St. Lucia, Budapest, once on their life, one-year-old Koa finds it easy to visit due to his rich mother.
Don't stop it, Jodie will spend to incredible amount of money for their adventure, including trips to St Lucia and Budapest, as well as a staycation in Windsor, UK, to visit theme parks like Legoland and Chessington World of Adventures.
Jodie has spent a staggering £30,000 ($38,500) on vacations for the year.
With a hefty price tag, Jodie remains satisfied with the lifestyle she's providing for her son.
Jodie faced criticism from among viewers. Many slammed her for wasting money, while some said her son needs education instead of luxury vacations. Others suggested she focus on being a better mother.
In an interview with What's The Jam, she said she was unapologetic about her choices.
"He’s too young to know what being spoilt is; we are just enjoying the high life,"
She added: "In a few months, he’ll be starting nursery, so I want to spend as much time with him as possible before that."
She said: "The people who judge me aren’t usually parents themselves, so they can’t really have an opinion. More often than not, they’re just jealous of me and my ability to not conform—that’s their problem, not mine."
She asserted: "Women are often expected to stay at home all the time and never take any time for themselves. Enjoying my travels, including trips for work, has made me a better parent," she said.
While Koa has accompanied Jodie on all her trips so far, she plans a solo birthday vacation to Las Vegas later this year. To compensate, she intends to take Koa to Disney World in Florida for his next birthday.
Jodie aims to balance luxury with lessons in gratitude, planning to take Koa on more UK trips as he grows older to teach him to appreciate everything he has and can do.
