A Teen In China Drained Family’s Life Savings On Video Games

Teen Buys $64,000 Worth Of Mobile Games And Add-ons With Family’s Life Savings

A teen in China drained her family’s life savings on video games, buying a whopping $64,000 worth of pay-to-play mobile entertainment.

Gong Yiwang, mom to the high-rolling 13-year-old, had no clue her daughter was charging her debit card until receiving a phone call from the school, according to Insider.

The worried phone home prompted Yiwang to check her bank account, realizing her balance was now a measly 7 cents.

Yiwang reportedly discovered that her teenage daughter went on a five-month spending spree from January to May, which totaled an estimated $16,800 on game accounts and nearly $30,000 on in-game purchases.

“I never thought a 13-year-old girl could do this,” Yiwang told local TV outlet Elephant News, per Insider.

“I’m in a daze; my head feels like it’s going to explode.”

The youngster also gifted funds to jealous classmates wanting to play after they hounded her for cash.
