In recent years, the original "Rich Kids of Instagram" account has amassed over 400,000 followers, spawned dozens of similar accounts, and inspired both books and reality TV shows.

From Switzerland to Vietnam, rich kids get to enjoy unlimited shopping sprees, pop Champagne on private jets, eat the finest foods, and so much more.

Recently, the Daily Mail spotted a spin-off account called "The Luxury Kids" that's living up to its name — to say the absolute least. Like the "Rich Kids of Instagram," this account features submissions from young, extremely privileged children across the world.

A crack head could obtain the same results of no care a bit more cheaply.

And the kids growing up with these high expectations relative to the parents who started modest and worked their way up to wealth tend to spend heavily AND not earn as much. End result - shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in 3 generations for most if not faster.
That’s why 90% of millionaires are first generation for the past 100 years. And why families remaining wealthy over multiple generations are rare.

Their parents problem if they don’t raise them right. I don’t begrudge anyone their wealth.
I’m just happy being comfortable most of the time, and thank God for that.

All I saw was a bunch of staged photo’s by kids.

I doubt most of them are even rich.

Being rich means girls don’t dress like bee keepers.

I saw a Bentley once and talked to the owner (a New Orleans physician) at the Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi. It made all the other cars parked there, including many so-called luxury cars, look like Ford Pintos and Chevy Monzas.

They will go the way of rich kids throughout history. Decadent and unruly, they will party their way into the abyss. Trace any rich family and see the trail through the generations.

I was in Seattle at a shop getting my 1998 Chevy looked at. Next door was some fancy customizing shop. They were rolling out some Range Rover with custom flat black paint, flashy wheels, etc. Some young 20-something Chinese guy and his girl friend drove up in a flat-black Porsche. A bunch more Chinese kids came out of the shop and did a semi-professional video of the guy checking out his new ride.

I told the guy I was with “Well - at least I don’t have to worry about spoiling my kids!”

I was lucky to .25 cents a week from my parents.
Most time nothing. I did not even get the use of the jet or limo either : (
