Super-rich influencer Shafira Huang who was victim of £10.4m jewellery heist became a 'magnet' for burglars after flaunting her valuables and jet-set lifestyle on social media, friend warns Shafira Huang openly shared images of her extravagant lifestyle on Instagram Friends and security experts say this may have been 'asking for trouble' READ MORE: Art collector's lavish lifestyle - including dinner with Fergie By JON BRADY Published: 09:37 GMT, 1 January 2025 | Updated: 09:49 GMT, 1 January 2025 e-mail 1 View comments An influencer and art collector who had more than £10million of jewellery stolen from her home in north London may have attracted the attention of crooks by flaunting her wealth online, friends have claimed. Shafira Huang's Instagram profile had been packed with pictures of her flaunting a variety of designer handbags, ultra-luxe fashion and priceless jewellery as she jetted around the world attending fashion shows and snacking on exotic food.
However, she has scrubbed her social media and made it private after her £38million mansion in St John's Wood was raided by a solitary thief who made off with millions in jewels, handbags and cash in a stealth raid lasting less than 20 minutes. Police are hunting for the masked thief, who snuck through the house on Avenue Road undetected on December 7 while house staff members were inside. But friends and experts say Huang may have made herself a target with her enthusiastic Instagramming to 13,000 followers - and many.
