Millionaire Cara Delevingne and her family are asking for money from the Covid Furlough system for their business.
The model, 28 years old, is the director of the family company, Harvey White Properties Ltd, along with her father Charles, 71, and two sisters Poppy, 34, and Chloe, 35.
According to The Sun, the business, which has an impressive portfolio of real estate that is believed to be worth £ 45.5 million, was halved rents during the pandemic.

Charles, Cara’s father, confirmed to the publication that he claims from the scheme. It is not known how many staff members were seconded, but it is believed that the company employs five people.
A source close to Delevingne said: “Just because Cara has a lot of money, doesn’t mean the company has it.”
While another added: “It has been a difficult year for everyone, and the owners have obviously been severely affected, but it is still surprising that people who are known to be very wealthy seem to have claimed taxpayer-funded documents. .
They added that there was “no suggestion of wrongdoing” at all, saying it was “just not necessarily what the public would expect.
MailOnline contacted Cara and Charles’ representatives for comment.

Any eligible business can claim taxpayer money from the scheme to help pay staff salaries while the pandemic and national blockages continue.
Harvey White Properties Ltd of Delevingnes was featured in a list published in January of thousands of companies that used the scheme.
Cara is believed to be worth around £ 30 million and earned an impressive £ 15.7 million last year, making her the highest paid model in the UK.
Cara, originally from London, is also gaining thanks for modeling for some of the biggest brands and cosmetics in the industry, including Burberry, DKNY, Jimmy Choo and Rimmel.
In the 2019 interview, Cara, who is also the director of her father Charles’ real estate company of 45 million pounds, admitted that money is not everything for her.
She said: “I had a very privileged education in the ability to travel and grow up in London, which was incredible for me.
“Having a wonderful family and my father … he didn’t grow up with a lot of money and he is extremely ambitious and driven to take care of his family and all of us. I realized that money is not everything.
Spring news comes after it was reported that Cara and her model sister Poppy put their Hollywood Hills home on the market for $ 3.75 million, four years after they bought it for $ 2.5 million.

The couple, who come from the British aristocracy, bought the two-storey house on the west coast of America together in 2017, but now they are eager to make a substantial profit by selling it.
Formerly owned by Oscar-winning actor Jared Leto, the house has an area of 4021 square meters and offers space, isolation and privacy due to its privileged location on a “quiet” street in Hollywood.
Cara and Poppy worked with the architect Nicolò Bini for 18 months to redesign the house according to their exact specifications, the interior displaying a series of light and particularly distinct blooms.
According to the observatory, Poppy and Cara bought the four-year-old house and three bathrooms in the 1950s style from actor Jared Leto in 2017 for $ 2.05 million.
