To get an insight to how the rich lived in 80’s and 90’s you had to watch Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, in the naughties there was MTV Cribs (Though there were a few episodes that were fake)   or VH1’s Lifestyles of the Fabulous.

These days however we are able to get an instant view through the wonders of our smartphones and social media.

Instagram accounts such as the Rich Kids of London, Rich kids of Dubai and the rich kids of Singapore show us exactly they like to live the high life.

Though you may think that these ‘Rich Kids’ want to rub their wealth in your face with these pages, it seems that the man behind Rich Kids Of London wanted the opposite. In an interview with Business Insider back in 2016, the creator of the Rich Kids of London  (a 21 year old nameless broker) said that his intention for starting the pages was to “Motivate people to do well in their life”.

Not to be outdone by the youngsters, there is a page for the parents of Instagram as well.
