Cameroonian-born Irene Malin (Major) and her family were featured in the UK reality TV show, ‘Britains’s Flashiest Families’, where they welcomed the cameras into their 47-bedroom mansion in Greenhithe’s Ingress Manor.

‘Britains’s Flashiest Families’ which is a two-part documentary series also showed the couple throwing a lavish, no expense spared, garden party and invited members of the community.

Canadian national Sam Malin, 52, and Irene Malin, 35, said they “want to be close to the Ingress Park Community” which neighbours their £1.6 million home.

Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Malin love to keep the family together. Irene usually shops with her seven and eight-year old daughters. She described her great loves as fashion, trips, jewellery and cars. After a shopping session in a designer kids store stocking Dior shoes, she spent £439 on an eighth birthday outfit for daughter Lulu-Marie.

Also on the show, the couple had a date night where Sam Milan splashed cash and treated his wife to a lavish dinner at his favourite restaurant in Paris. This was via a private jet at a cost of £1,500.

Mr Malin joked: “The key element of keeping the flame alive with five children is the nannies.” He also admitted that “I love spoiling Irene – I love to see her reaction.”

As a reminder, Mrs Malin is not new to TV – last year she appeared on X Factor with her sister Elsa Major, and was branded Simon Cowell’s “idea of hell”.

The couple met when Mr Malin, who makes his money in the oil industry, was working in Cameroon, where Mrs Malin grew up with nine siblings.

The family of the self-acclaimed Queen of Ingress, Irene Malin and her multi-millionaire geological engineer husband, Sam Malin, is one of Britain’s plushest families, according to a new Channel 5 show.
