CHERRY GASPS:

Wow, this is amazing, isn't it?

This is definitely not shopping for shoes.

No, it's that little bit more expensive.

Little bit more! How much is this boat?

- 170,000.

- (170,000!)

It's all fun, it's all part of living your life and enjoying your money.

'I am certainly impressed by Amanda's drive

'but can this relentless quest for money

'really make her fulfilled?'

Do you think that this makes you happier,

this wealth?

I would say money does definitely make you happy

and there might be people out there going, "Oh, it doesn't, it doesn't,"

but it makes me happy, and it makes my family happy.

What have you had to sacrifice to get where you are today?

Being, probably, a full-time mum,

I found that quite difficult.

I've got three children

and not being able to go to assemblies

because I'm in London or in meetings, or away,

and I had to go away, like, five times last year

and you constantly miss your children,

and having to say goodbye to them.

So, that's a big sacrifice to me,

is missing out on some of the things my children have done, definitely.

Do you think that it's been worth it?

Yes, because I'm doing all this for my children.

That's another reason for me to keep going.

Who's that? Who's that?

- Do you want to put monkey to bed?

- Yeah!

- Yeah?

I think Amanda is amazing,

and she is a real inspiration to women to earn their own money,

but...the fact that she's had to sacrifice time with her children

just shows you can't have it all,

and as a working mum myself, I really relate to that,

you can't have it all, you can't be the perfect, perfect mother

and the perfect woman in business.

It's really hard finding that balance

and at the end of the day, something's got to give.

'I may not be comfortable making the same sacrifices for money

'as Amanda has, but I want to know what it feels like

'to have her buying power.

'So, purely in the name of research, I am seeing what it's like

'to go clothes shopping, if money was no object.'

I've been talkin'

About my new diamond rings

Because my new diamond rings

There the...

'Obviously, I'll have to give back my loot at the end of the day.

'But what does it feel like to pick up whatever I fancy?

'And how much can I spend?'

How much is that?

That's 6,320, please.

I've been talkin'

About my new diamond rings

Because my new diamond rings

They're the...

Ooh, yeah!

'If money is a drug, then I think I'm getting high.'

I'm, like, in a shopping frenzy. I feel like I want everything,

I've gone really grabby!

I just want it all.

- Thank you! Bye-bye.

- Bye.
