Lemonade | ELLE UK

From scrubbing toilets in footballers' houses to picking potatoes in the fields in Suffolk, it's fair to say the ELLE team have had their fair share of sweat-inducing, embarrassing and down right peculiar part-time jobs to help fund our education, traveling dreams and car payments.

So, imagine our shock when we found out North West earned £78 selling one cup of lemonade to a customer. More than we could earn in two days work in our Saturday jobs – not to mention the fact she's three-years-old.

On Friday, Kim Kardashian posted a video of her daughter and friends (including cousins Reign and Penelope) selling refreshing citrus drinks at their very own pop-up lemonade stand, proving it's never too early to start following in the business mogul footsteps of your parents.

In the video, North's mum can be heard offering to pay £78 for a glass of lemonade (despite being worth less than £1) which in one fell swoop made us all question all those hours as teenagers armed with a toilet brush/latex gloves/dirty coffee mugs and damp cloths.

So, what did we learn from this?

When life gives you lemons, you're probably better off giving them to North West. 

She'll make far more money from them than you can.
