The concept of the tooth fairy has received a dramatic underworld makeover, courtesy of Melbourne's most infamous grandmother, Roberta Williams. The former wife of convicted drug kingpin Carl Williams has sparked both astonishment and outrage after revealing her grandson received a staggering £1,500 for a single lost tooth.

Williams, no stranger to controversy and luxury, shared the extraordinary payout on her social media, leaving followers divided. While traditional tooth fairy exchanges might involve a few pounds coins tucked under a pillow, Williams' approach reflects a different scale of generosity altogether.
The lavish gift quickly ignited a firestorm of comments, with many questioning the message it sends about value and entitlement.
Social Media Backlash and Divided Opinions
The revelation prompted immediate and strong reactions online. Many commentators expressed concern about the appropriateness of such an extravagant sum for a child.
"That's just obscene for a child's tooth," wrote one follower, while another questioned, "What lesson is this teaching?" Critics argued that it sets unrealistic expectations and undermines the simple charm of the childhood tradition.
A Life of Notoriety and Luxury
This incident is hardly the first time Williams has made headlines for her lavish lifestyle. As a central figure in Australia's criminal underworld history, she has long been associated with both notoriety and wealth.
Her life, marked by dramatic highs and profound tragedies, including the murder of her ex-husband in prison, continues to fascinate and provoke public discussion. This latest episode adds another layer to her controversial public persona.
Whether viewed as a doting grandmother's generosity or a profound misjudgment, one thing is certain: Roberta Williams has successfully rewritten the tooth fairy story for a price few could ever imagine.
