Inside Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou’s epic birthday party for son Brody after selling all his assets
TOMMY Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou pulled out all the stops for their son’s third birthday party.
The couple, who were hit with a whopping tax bill and forced to sell “all their assets”, certainly didn’t scrimp when it came to Brody’s big day.
Tommy shared a sweet snap of his boy grinning as he wore a Spider-Man outfit in front of a huge balloon display.
His name was spelled out in huge letters from inside a function tent that had been erected on Tommy’s property.
“Happy birthday to my hero,” he wrote with a heart emoji.
“Love you to bits son,” he added.
The family-of-three also posed together in the garden, wearing matching trainers created by Tommy’s latest business venture: crystal-infused trainers.
“Had the best week, Georgia done all of the planning and work whilst I was busy dealing with business and it was next level, Brody was the happiest I’ve ever seen him and is still smiling, life is beautiful,” he wrote.
There was a Spider-Man entertainer as well as a huge white bouncy castle and ball pit for the kids to play on.
Brody and his friends also had the option of whizzing around on tricycles.
This comes after he told fans that he stepped down from his multi-million pound luxury footwear brand Mallet London.
The reality TV star launched the company in 2015.
He made millions in sales of trainers he designed and became one of the show’s most successful stars of all time thanks to his obsession with footwear.
Now the former Towie star, who is married to Georgia Kousoulou, has told fans that – following a “four month battle” – he’s offloaded all of his assets after departing the brand in October.
Writing on Instagram, Tommy said: “It’s probably not over, but as it stands I can work and support my family.
“I’ve sold all my assets to defend myself and starting from scratch, but I’ve got some wonderful companies and I will give it my all to get it back so my family can continue living the life I worked so hard to give them.”
Tommy added: “Just call me the monk who’s sold his Ferrari for a bit.”
Tommy addressed this during an appearance on Brogan Garrit-Smith’s Getting There Podcast and also insisted he had “no money”.
The Baby Steps reality TV star, who shares son Brody, two, with 32-year-old Georgia spoke about his wife’s heartbreaking miscarriage at the same time.
Tommy Mallet's business empire
Tommy Mallet is the classic story of rags to riches, but how did he leave school with no GCSES to become a multi-millionaire in his twenties?
In 2015 Tommy founded Mallet London with Evren Ozka, which became known for its premium footwear.
He grew up on a council estate in London and left school with no GCSES. It was his upbringing that inspired him to create his own shoe brand – as he was never able to wear fashionable trainers as a kid.
After launching the brand, within five years he made 11.8 million sales, landing himself a spot on the Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list.
Mallet footwear is stocked in 150 stores around the world and are worn by the likes of Drake, Craig David and Will.i.am.
This year he has stepped out on his own to launch a new trainer brand called CTRNE – labelling itself as the “one and only crystal-infused sneaker brand”.
The trainers – which sell for around £200 – incorporate citrine crystals which the website claims ” dispel negative energy and self-doubt, creating a mindset of optimism and clarity.”
He said: “I’ve got nothing financially at the moment.
“I basically made an acquisition in January, it was quite a big one and it was to buy some shares back for Mallet.
“I put money into Mallet to get my shares back up thinking that I was going to go and basically build the next year, just full force.
“And obviously, after seeing you, I lost the baby. That turned my whole world around and I was like, something needs to change.
“I basically started from scratch. I’ve got the biggest tax bill ever.”
