Phaedra Parks from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" says she gave her son, Ayden, $150,000 for his 13th birthday.

The reality TV veteran told People about the gift in an interview published Friday.

"So he said for his birthday he either wanted a dirt bike or a way to make money. And so I said, 'Well definitely not gonna give you a dirt bike to kill yourself. I will give you $150,000 for you to buy a piece of property,' " Parks said.

According to Parks, Ayden, who celebrated his birthday on May 26, is "trying to figure out if he wants to do a little multi-unit duplex" or "own little rental properties."

Parks said that while her family didn't have the means to give her $150,000 as a gift, she received other memorable things like love and support from her family.

"I don't come from a bad family. I come from a middle-class family of educators. However, they didn't have the type of income that I have," Parks said.

"So while they probably would have wanted to able to do that, they didn't have the means to give a kid $150,000 to buy something. It just wasn't like that back then, especially for people of color," she continued.

In addition to Ayden, Parks has a son named Dylan, 10, whom she shares with ex-husband Apollo Nida.

In her interview, Parks shared that both sons "love anything about making money in cryptocurrency" and says that Ayden is "researching how to become a millionaire before he is 25."

"They have great manners. I'm very proud to call them mine," Parks added.

"RHOA" viewers watched Parks give birth to Ayden, whom she nicknamed "Prince," in the show's third season.

Parks appeared on seven sevens of the franchise before exiting in 2017.

She's returning to reality TV with appearances on the upcoming 10th season of Bravo's "Married to Medicine," per Deadline.
