Birthdays often bring to mind cakes, games, and laughter, but one recent Instagram video added a luxurious twist to the usual festivities. The clip, which has gone viral, captures a unique birthday party activity: children painting a yellow Ferrari worth $500,000 (around Rs. 4 crore).
The video shows 10 to 15 children enthusiastically decorating the luxury car with blue and dark-colored paint, transforming its once-pristine exterior into a canvas of abstract artwork. Adults can be seen watching the scene unfold as the car’s sides become a colorful display. The post’s caption humorously notes, “A $500k car being used for Children’s birthday party! Happens only in Dubai!”

Garnering over 3 million views, the video has sparked widespread reactions online, ranging from sarcastic to critical. One user remarked, “When you have money, but no common sense,” while another criticized the activity, saying, “Teaching your children to ruin a good car isn’t art nor party entertainment.”
Some users reminisced about simpler childhood celebrations. “We used to play musical chairs and pass the parcel. I wouldn’t change it for the world!” one commenter wrote. Others questioned the value of such an activity, with one asking, “No other games to play for children? What do they learn.”
Dubai’s extravagant lifestyle is no stranger to the limelight. In September, another Instagram post by Dubai-based housewife Soudi Al Nadak went viral when she shared how her millionaire husband bought her a private island. The clip showcased the luxurious island with the caption, “POV: you wanted to wear a bikini so your millionaire husband bought you an island.”
The viral Ferrari video has once again highlighted Dubai’s reputation for lavish and unconventional displays of wealth, sparking debates about luxury, values, and creativity.
