Two cars he's too young to drive, a jetski, and £20,000 blown on his birthday ...is this Britain's most spoilt teenager?

Over indulged: Decked out in designer clothing, Jordan Smith poses with a car hired to take him to his lavish birthday party

The economic downturn hasn't affected plans for Jordan Smith's forthcoming 17th birthday one iota.

Despite being a plain old carpentry student, the teenager is anticipating a lavish celebration in May, with his doting mother Suzanne Dickenson proudly admitting that she has spent £20,000 on gifts.

'I'm buying him a new, customised Vauxhall Corsa,' she says, 'and I've promised him a shopping trip to New York afterwards. I'm also going to build a log cabin next to our house. It will be good for him to have somewhere private to hang out.'

Nice though the Corsa sounds, Jordan hardly needs another car. He is still too young to drive the £5,000 Renault Clio that Suzanne, 38, bought him for his last birthday, complete with personalised numberplate. It sits on the drive, barely used.

'It's a shame he's already bored of his Clio,' admits Suzanne, 'but he loves polishing it. And it wasn't a waste of money because it gave him the freedom to get out of the house - even if it was just to sit in it on the driveway with his friends.'

Astonishingly, the unused Clio isn't the only vehicle Jordan owns. Stored in the garage at the family's farmhouse in Groesfaen, Pontyclun, in Wales, there is also a £1,500 moped, a £1,200 motorbike, a £5,000 jetski - and an assortment of quad bikes - totalling £10,000.

And Jordan's pampered lifestyle - funded by his mother - doesn't end there. Aside from the lavish birthday parties, his vast en-suite bedroom at the family home is stuffed with every latest gadget: three laptops, a 40in plasma TV, satellite and cable system, the latest Wii and various PlayStations.

It's hard to imagine how any son could possibly have any more spent on them.

Indeed, Jordan must surely be a shoo-in for the title of Britain's most spoilt teenager.

Suzanne has spent an incredible £52,100 on him in the past year alone - and that doesn't include the forthcoming birthday. 

And while Suzanne admits that her construction boss husband, Lee, 31, Jordan's stepfather, does think she spoils him and their two sons, Kean, eight, and three-month-old Thai, she begs to differ. 

Suzanne, who runs her own discount furniture business, says: 'Yes, they have everything their hearts desire and, because he's older, Jordan's lifestyle in particular has cost me a fortune - but they are not spoilt.'

Many might think otherwise - but Suzanne pleads an addiction to giving. 'Spending on my sons gives me the greatest pleasure of all,' she says. 'Barely a week goes by when I don't go shopping with Jordan.

'During a usual trip, I will spend about £400. But some weeks I can easily go through £1,500 on designer clothes for him. Fashion is very important to him and he has excellent taste.

'He also adores beautiful jewellery such as his diamond earring. And like any proud mum, I love to see him look good.' 

The questionable psychology behind Suzanne's habit of indulging her eldest son's every whim is complicated further by her burning desire for him to be famous - a desire Jordan himself has now picked up on with some enthusiasm. (This, despite having left his state school with few qualifications, and currently attending a carpentry course at college.)

His 16th-birthday party - complete with bespoke cake iced with the immortal and telling words: 'It's all about Jord' - was a case in point.
