Heidi Klum marked her son Henry’s 21st birthday on Saturday with an extravagant surprise: a striking red Ferrari F430.
The 53-year-old supermodel shared an Instagram video capturing the moment she unveiled the gift and Henry’s stunned reaction.
Klum stood outside beside the luxury sports car, which costs more than six figures and typically sells for around $200,000.
Henry’s stepfather, Tom Kaulitz, guided him outside to see the surprise waiting for him.
“I can’t believe it is that time. You’ve been waiting for so many years,” Klum told Henry in the video.
After seeing the Ferrari, Henry exclaimed, “Oh my God! Jesus Christ. I don’t even know what to say.”

Kaulitz also appeared in the birthday video, explaining that he had honored a promise made after he and Henry placed a video game bet several years ago.
He said he bought the Ferrari at a car show “last year” and kept it hidden in their garage “the whole time” until Henry’s birthday.
Klum pointed out that her husband had “kept his promise,” recalling that the bet had been made roughly seven years earlier.
In a follow-up post, Klum explained that the lavish gift stemmed from a wager Henry made with his stepfather when he was a teenager.
‘It’s happening on Christmas, and if I lose Mario Kart, then I can’t play video games for three months, and I have to do a painting of me driving,’ Henry said in the clip. ‘But if I win, then Tom has to give me a Ferrari when I’m 21.’
In addition to Henry, the television host is the mother of four children.
Her eldest child is 22-year-old daughter Leni, whose biological father is Flavio Briatore and she is the adopted daughter of Seal.
Klum also shares Johan, 19, and Lou, 16, with her ex-husband Seal.

The supermodel and her husband Kaulitz were celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary at the time and were joined by their eldest children, Leni and Henry.
She is often joined by her kids, including Henry, on red carpets, and the mother-son duo opened up about their close bond at the American Music Awards in May 2025.
He praised his parents for being an ‘inspiration’ to him.
‘Anything that I do, [my parents are] always so supportive,’ he told Daily Mail last year as his mom chimed in to share that she is proud of her son as well as ‘all of my kids.’
While speaking with People last year, Henry shared how his parents have inspired him to embrace his personal style.
‘When I was growing up, I was always evolving with my style and just figuring out my own look or just how I feel in different clothing, but that evolved over time.
‘So they were just telling me like, “Whatever makes you feel good, whatever can make you feel powerful, make you feel like whoever you want to feel,”‘ he recalled.
