Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's 'nepo baby' Jaden is being trolled online for offering a 'house tour' of his Louis Vuitton handbag.
The intricately designed Maison de Famille purse is modeled after the 19th century fashion designer's country house, which is now nestled in the Paris suburbs.
At present the bag is available on the brand's Hong Kong website for $375,000 in the local currency, which converts to $47,912.10 American.
'I got this new amazing bag here,' said Jaden, 27, proudly showing off the statement piece in a TikTok posted from the Louis Vuitton Paris Fashion Week show by Vogue.
'We got a freakin' balcony on it, owl on it. It's insane detailed. Everyone did insane work on it,' he said, unclasping the purse to reveal the drawers inside.
Fans reacted with derision in the comments, leaving remarks like: 'ridiculous,' 'so sad,' 'i'm so over him atp' and: 'This boy play too much.'

Some threw up their hands, sighing: 'I've literally lost hope for mankind,' 'What has the world become,' and in French: 'We've hit rock bottom.'
Louis Vuitton was already a famed luxury trunk maker when he acquired the house on which the Maison de Famille bag is based in 1859.
The elegant property is located in what thanks to urban sprawl is now the Paris suburb of Asnières-sur-Seine, though it was then part of the countryside.
Vuitton used the estate both as a family home and a professional base, and it now serves as a museum about him as well as a special-orders workshop.
The brand's current women's creative director Nicolas Ghesquière debuted the Maison de Famille bag in the spring/summer 2023 collection.
Made of cowhide leather, the piece features gold-toned hardware and an enamel bird perched on the roof, with fake snow running down the miniature bay windows.
Jaden's latest splash of public opprobrium comes weeks after he was roundly mocked for his debut fashion line for Christian Louboutin.
Last September, Louboutin enlisted the showbiz legacy to be the first-ever creative director of his fashion house's menswear division.

When the collection debuted in January, viewers took derisive aim at the outlandish designs, especially a $2,990 set of fuzzy red boots.
Fashion commentator Carlysle said the footwear 'looked like someone skinned Elmo alive,' while a fluffy belt resembled 'pubes coming down.'
'We're watching a first-semester student project being sold as high luxury just because of a famous last name,' said the TikTok account I Went to Art School.
'What are we doing? I'm genuinely pissed off because I was rooting for him so hard,' exclaimed fashion influencer Kevin Shephard. 'This man took the opportunity of a lifetime at Christian Louboutin and fumbled it.'
Then last month Jaden went viral for a clip in which he stormed away from a red carpet interview upon being asked a question about Kanye West.
Jaden, a longstanding friend of West's, was attending the season two premiere of Druski's Coulda Been Love when he was approached by a Complex reporter.
'I see you’re working with Steven Smith, who designed with Ye. What are y’all cooking up?' asked interviewer Jillian Hardeman-Webb.
At that point Jaden turned and stalked off down the red carpet, to which Hardeman-Webb drily remarked: 'I guess we'll never know.'
