An HGTV personality is standing firm after facing backlash for buying his 16-year-old daughter a BMW reportedly worth around $150,000, according to Page Six. The star defended the lavish gift publicly, saying his daughter had earned the car rather than simply being handed it.

The purchase sparked debate online over whether such an extravagant gift for a new teen driver is appropriate, but the HGTV star pushed back against critics, framing the car as a reward rather than an act of spoiling.

Details on exactly how the teen 'earned' the car, beyond the father's public defense, were not elaborated on in available reporting.
