SHE’S only 16 but Venezuela Fury is already well on her way to getting her very first driving license.
While the age requirements in the UK state that people have to be 17 or over to start learning to drive, there’s a legal loophole which means Venezuela – the daughter of Paris and Tyson Fury – has been able to start earlier.
And that loophole is that Venezuela is currently living with her family in the Isle of Man – in an £8million, six-bed converted farmhouse near the island’s capital, Douglas.
The law in the Isle of Man says that the legal minimum age to drive a car is 16 years old.
Due to that, Venezuela – who holds a provisional licence – has been able to go out driving as long as mum Paris is in the car, or she’s accompanied by another qualified driver (defined as being over 21 with three or over years of driving experience).
Despite the fact Venezuela, who turns 17 in September, has been able to start her driving experience early thanks to the Isle of Man law, things haven’t gone too well on the theory front.

As the teen revealed in a recent TikTok video that she has actually failed her theory test twice.
She admitted she had wanted to be a fully-fledged and licensed driver before she ties the knot with fiancé Noah Price later this year.
But, due to the double failure, and the fact that the wedding is fast approaching, that’s looking increasingly unlikely.
“I failed my theory as well, second time I’ve done it and I’ve failed it,” she sighed in the video.
“So I don’t know if I’m actually thick or what, but I’m gonna go again, I’ve got it booked in April.
“I’m trying to get driving before I’m married but I don’t think that’s gonna work, to be honest.
“I don’t think it’s gonna work.”
Even if Venezuela does manage to pass both her theory and practical driving test before she walks down the aisle, having an Isle of Man driving license doesn’t mean she’s legally allowed to drive when she’s in the UK.
As even if you hold a full license on the Isle of Man, you still have to meet the minimum age requirement in the UK to be able to drive on UK roads.
“How are you able to do your theory before your 17?” one person asked in the comments section of the TikTok.
With someone else replying: “It’s 17 but Isle of Man is 16 where they live.”
“Ahh so it’s because she is in the Isle of Man,” another wrote.
How rich are the Furys?
Tyson and Paris Fury have an estimated combined net worth over £70 million.
The bulk of this comes from Tyson’s heavyweight boxing paydays, most recently earning £80 million from his clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
Experts believe he has a whopping £300 million sitting in the bank, which is also thanks to the Fury family’s Netflix show and five book deals.
But mum-of-seven Paris proved she can take on the world after stepping down from Tyson’s company in August 2022 to focus on her own projects.
In just one year of flying solo, she raked in £180,000 from book and PR deals, and social media ads.
The couple live with their seven children in a £1.7 million mansion in Morecambe, Lancashire.
When Venezuela does pass her test, she will also have to abide by Isle of Man rules for new drivers, which state that she must display ‘R-plates’ on her car and stay under 50 miles per hour for the first year of driving.
Venezuela and Noah got engaged when he popped the question at her 16th birthday party.
While they haven’t revealed their exact wedding date, one of the teenager’s pals leaked the invite for her hen do, which is taking place on March 26th – suggesting the wedding won’t be long afterwards.
