A 75-year-old woman in China spent her entire life savings of three million yuan, or around Rs 4.3 crore, on beauty treatments at a single salon, leaving her without money for basic living expenses. Her daughter eventually discovered the extent of the spending and sought help from a Shanghai television programme.
According to the South China Morning Post, the elderly woman, identified only by her surname Yu, had been visiting a branch of Yongqi Beauty and Hairdressing Company, along with a medical beauty clinic linked to the business, since 2016.
